Funny you say that because I just tried it out and I've got a regular captcha.
Well, at the moment they are testing new Captchas. Some are normal, others are new.

I just got one in which I had to play a video ad in order to receive the code for the captcha. I didn't have to watch the whole thing, but it was damn loud.

I had no problem with the original captchas. Sure, I often got Hebrew or letters with accents on them (which, by the way, you don't have to do. it will take a normal "a" even if it asks you for an "å"), but I understood their purpose and they weren't a huge hassle to deal with. I don't even have a problem with the new ads that pop up and take up a good portion of the bottom of the screen. But video captchas? Those can just fuck right off.

The Escapist isn't the most popular site on the internet.

Ads make money.

Bam.

And unless you are required by law to buy everything you see an ad for, this is in no way digging into your wallet.

Just blatantly trying to dig into our wallets?
or they could just cut out the middle man and make every membership cost money, and then make Premium membership more expensive then whatever it is now.

OT: I must be in the half that dont get new ones, but I've seen new ones before, and really its not much to complain about. If they're like the ones I saw before, just mute it, type whatever it wnats you to type and continue.

I much prefer this actually. It used to be that I could only post about once a day because of the way that my pc doesn't let me see the captcha pictures. I am very thankful for the new ads.
