  Yet spammers find my clients’ contact forms as send dozens of emails an hour until I put on recapcha and then it stops.

  I would love an alternative that isn’t swapping one insidious company with another.

  Even if recaptcha is solvable by bots, what you’re effectively doing is making it more expensive to run these bots at scale, which is a deterrent and necessary.

  Now there’s definitely ways to do it without tracking user data, but I doubt they’ll give up that control without being forced
