    A bot someone I know was running made 232,419 submissions. Over 50k of them after captcha was added.

    That data was utterly utterly useless to them. Completely monkey wrenched.

    You ain't getting shit from anyone using the internet. 1 single person can break a system like this singlehandedly, and there are hundreds of thousands of us. I have no doubt that they received millions of submissions just from average people firing off a few manually, let alone with the bots added on top.

      People say the innovation of the internet has been the “democratization” of culture. I disagree. It is the widespread availability of force multiplication. Culture is downstream from this.
