Nauti's Take

The CAPTCHA wave has a clear trigger: AI scrapers and bots are flooding any site that doesn't lock down hard. That creates a real opportunity for better bot-detection providers — passive behavioral signals instead of annoying click puzzles.

The downside: real users face more friction, and accessibility takes a hit. Site operators should invest in modern bot filters now; casual surfers just have to put up with more clicks.
