I suppose you expand the usage of spam to also mean the recaptcha mini-games where you tick all the boxes with traffic lights in them. I agree with the sentiment. I'll add that if you don't use anti-fingerprinting or anti-tracking measures, then recaptcha catches on really quickly that you're a person, and it's not much of a bother in that case. The problem with it is that it's made for the ad-peddling web, not for the private web, or whatever the alternative should be called.
