Captcha is the devil for accessibility so never ever add captcha anywhere... ever. There’s other ways to validate without bombing your application accessibility for users with access needs.

Captcha is always in the top 10 issues users with access needs bring up, doesn’t matter the type of captcha. Captcha in its current form is a problem and not a solution. The users have spoken 🤷♂️

Captcha has improved, but it’s not accessible to all users yet or even a plurality. Issues remain. Old versions in the wild. Etc.
There are valid captcha alternatives which solve many of captchas (all versions) issues but still captcha has improved as I said, it’s just not all the way there for users with access needs or those with privacy concerns.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Otherwise good points overall.

Which is inaccessible too.
