Just curious, does anyone else take a captcha challenge from a merchant's website as an indication that they aren't interested in your business? How about you hire some people to identify busses and leave me out of it?

Nice. I've definitely been known to stick to a boycott pretty hard, and this is becoming a deal breaker for me.

Deb Nam-Krane@TheGreatLlama I try, but when I get to ten attempts and they're still not satisfied, they can screw.
@dnkboston
Wow, you are FAR more patient than I am. If they're lucky, they get ONE.

@TheGreatLlama It's mostly an organization that has webinars I'm interested in. But now, mostly, no.
Misuse Case@TheGreatLlama Whew, yeah. Why are you getting between me and giving you my money?
@MisuseCase
Right? A perfect indicator that I'm a real human is that I'm giving you money for a product or service.

Cara Bruar@TheGreatLlama seems to be a universal thing now. I want to give them money for actual goods but before I am allowed to do that I have to log in, go through two layers of 2fa, turn on my location, disable my ad blocker, then give them my email again so I can receive their newsletter. Then I have to nominate my local store and confirm my account id. After that they might let me see the products.

I'm a weird coffee person, so I get fresh roasted beans on a subscription service from a couple of semi-local roasters (I like variety). I actually switched companies at one point over their overly aggressive captcha, and I told them why. They emailed me saying it wasn't their choice, it was Shopify... like, I get it, you aren't web designers, but Shopify just cost you some business.

@TheGreatLlama interesting. Small businesses stuck there, not too many eccommerce options

I don't know what exactly the problem was, but their site had become literally unusable. I was unable to log in using my desktop browser. The competition didn't have that problem. I have sympathy for them, which is why I shared my reasons with them. It wasn't their product or the cost, it was entirely due to their choice of e-commerce service. They deserved to know, but I wasn't going to stick around and deal with it.

@TheGreatLlama @CaraBruar The owner of Shopify also funds fascism but I guess the way he figures it Shopify is too big to fail.
