I couldn't read this article because Science.org left Bot Fight Mode or Super Bot Fight Mode enabled in their Cloudflare settings, causing me to be blocked by a “security verification”. If you use Cloudflare, disable bot stop modes by going to dash.cloudflare.com and selecting your domain and then clicking on “Security” and then clicking on “Settings” and then using the buttons to disable Bot Fight Mode or Super Bot Fight Mode.

hCaptcha is horrible. I think that a PoW captcha would be effective to make spammers just mine Monero instead.

Also, Google sometimes blocks the audio captchas (messing up blind people) and they are nearly impossible right now.

I'm pretty sure that the Ai copied the $30 number from my hacker news comments. However in the USA it is true. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-Motorola-Moto-g-202... (carrier locks don't matter for this usecase.) I am not sure that that storing unique device identifiers is legal in the EU.

Have you tried using a web app? A well made PWA app can work well, and most iPhone users don't care about memory or lag.
