BTW: How many people have died because of photovoltaic that is constructed on the ground on large fields? Probably 0… If you want to minimize death, this is the way to go.
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.
Doesn't have to be asking for money. For example, we order food to the office once a week and I'm always paying for it online with everyone else paying me back. No asking involved so the strategy in the OP could totally work unless I checked the transactions.
I hope they keep the charging port position just so people can keep shitting on it.
