I think it would be best if we just removed the
captcha, rather than
deploying a new engine.
I'd absolutely love that.
On the mobile app, almost everyone who tries to create an account is shown
a captcha. Of those people, 31% of them get the captcha wrong on their
first try, and 17% of those people give up trying to create an account. The
success rate for account creation is less than 50%, in no small part due to
the captcha.
I'd love to eliminate giving our users that headache.
