Hacker News Reader

Honestly, I'm not that bothered. I think most of these users are high-pain users so dropping them is okay if ultimately it lets the website operator offer a service to me cheaper.

Sure, some are unfairly blocked, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

What, non-Americans?

Non-Americans who can't rapidly figure out what's intended from the context.

As I commented elsewhere, sure, when I was first asked I guessed it must be the road markings. But to this day I just select all the road markings that aren't clearly separating lanes.

I don't know if I get loads wrong as a result, but it certainly could catch me out by testing identifying the difference between a 'crosswalk' and whatever other markings you might put across your roads.

To TFA's point, good job reCaptcha, you identified my unfamiliarity with everyday American things.

I too am willing to sacrifice others when it benefits me.
