@alice yeah, every time I click one of those and it doesn’t require me to identify motorcycles, I have failed to protect my privacy. ☹️

@alice If I am able to avoid ads maybe they don't have enough information to know if I am human or bot?

Are we creating two Internets? The internet accessible to people without adblockers and the internet accessible to everyone, also to bots.

@labrador @alice Yes. I remember listening in a podcast a listener saying that they used pi-hole to block everything and got challenged with complex captchas much more often.
