    I am pretty sure someone designing a botnet could spin up some headless chrome and manipulate your shitty website just fine, even with your checks and balances.

    API, being abused... what a croque of shit.

      Captchas aren't even remotely useful nowadays either, unless you use some unbelievably frustrating ones with ~1min timers for an answer. There's a couple that machine learning can only reliably crack that quickly 1/1000 times, where humans get it 1/20 during their first exposure to it and 1/2 the time after repeated exposure.
