Big part of the internet is going through Cloudflare these days, so it tracks you as you browse, and does something clever to figure out if you’re a robot. Google can do the same, they’ll have a cookie on you. If they’re not sure they’ll show you one of those challenges.

I have two guesses:

  1. Low bar just checks that it gets clicked.
  2. Script on the pages watches mouse movements, etc., and bases its decision on that data.

I’m pretty sure it’s just number 2.

A program will click the box and hit submit instantly. Or it’d move in a perfectly straight line to either the centre of each or the edge of each and click as quickly as possible.

Real human movements are not as precise.

Remember, it’s not about filtering out robots, it’s about filtering out dangerous (as in spam, malware, etc.) things.

I mean, If you’re reeeeeeally good and reeeeeeally precise and reeeeally fast … then maybe you’re as dangerous as the robot. Maybe it’s just safer to keep you out. 🙃
