    Yeah kind of idiotic that the video kept saying that captchas are useless – they’re still preventing basic bots from filling forms. If you took them away, fraudsters wouldn’t have to pay humans to solve them or use fancy bots any more, so bot traffic would increase

      For the current state of the things I agree with you. In the future it’s another can of worms - the barrier of entry of those fancy bots will likely get lower over time, so I expect us to see more fraudsters/spammers/advertisers using them.
