More of an !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world than a showerthought.
Also, you’re very wrong.
Ads can be blocked, captchas are required to access certain contents, and some are absurdly annoying if they detect you are using a vpn or tor.
Yeah, but captchas are something you see if your privacy minded, not staying signed in, no cookies, that type of stuff.
If you’re doing that, you’re running an ad blocker as well.
So it’s more that you see ads or you see captchas, rarely would someone run into both frequently.
Which likely lines up with what someone finds more annoying, it’s what they see most.
If you’d literally rather waste 5 minutes clicking on traffic lights, than 30 seconds watching a video, that’s just an excessive hate for ads.
I’m not saying you have to like them, but spending 4 minutes and 30 seconds just to avoid them, is bordering on an unhealthy phobia.
But captchas at least have purpose other filling my brain with bullshit.
And yes, ads can be blocked but a block ad is just … not there. So of course a captacha is more annoying than not seeing an ad. But that wasn’t the question. I’d rather solve captchas for 5 minues than watch a single 30 second ad.
