A CAPTCHA (a backronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human.[1]
The term was coined in 2003 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper, and John Langford.[2] The most common type of CAPTCHA was first invented in 1997 by two groups working in parallel: (1) Mark D. Lillibridge, Martin Abadi, Krishna Bharat, and Andrei Z. Broder; and (2) Reshef, Raanan and Solan.[3] This form of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen. Because the test is administered by a computer, in contrast to the standard Turing test that is administered by a human, a CAPTCHA is sometimes described as a reverse Turing test.
This user identification procedure has received many criticisms, especially from disabled people, but also from other people who feel that their everyday work is slowed down by distorted words that are difficult to read.[4] It takes the average person approximately 10 seconds to solve a typical CAPTCHA.

are you on free VPN or proxy? because usually webmasters detect bots by ip address. for example, if an ip address was flagged for malicious things like spam and bots, some sites always ask for captcha. and usually this ip address are from free proxy and vpn.
How many captchas do you solve on a daily basis?
I'm bored asf to solve all these annoying captchas... there are captchas to sign in to my email, to enter an exchange, to sign up to forums, faucets, PTC, online banks, there are all those damn captchas everywhere !!!
I know it's a necessary thing against bots and attackers. But is it possible that we aren't able to make a better method?
