If you are going to rely on security through obscurity there are plenty of ways to do that that won't block actual humans because they dare use a non-mainstream browser. You can also do it without displaying cringeworthy art that is only there to get people to pay for the DRM solution you are peddling - that shit has no place in the open source ecosystem.
I'm not commenting on the value of this project (I wouldn't characterize captchas as DRM, but I see why you have that negative connotation) and I tend to agree with the OP that this is simply wasting energy, but the amount of seething over "anime catgirls" makes me want to write all the docs for my next projects in UwU text and charge for a whimsy-free version.

Please do, it's better if people make their negative personality traits public so that you can avoid them before wasting your time. It will also be useful to show your hypocrisy when you inevitably complain about someone else doing something that you don't like.
i love this thread because it the Serious Business Man doesn't realize that purposeful unprofessionalism like anime art, silly uwu :3 catgirls, writing with no capitalization are done specifically to be unpalatable to Serious Business Man—threatening to not interact with people like that is the funniest thing.
negative signaling works!
Acting obnoxiously to piss people off makes you seem like an inexperienced teenager and distances more than "Serious Business Man".
I look forward for this to be taken to the logical extreme when a niche subculture of internet nerds change their entire online persona to revolve around scat pornography to spite "the normals", I'm sure they'll be remembered fondly as witty and intelligent and not at all as mentally ill young people.
Sounds like a similar idea to what the "plus N-word license" is trying to accomplish
On the contrary: Making things look silly and unprofessional so that Big Serious Corporations With Money will pay thousands of dollars to whitelabel them is an OUTSTANDING solution for preserving software freedom while raising money for hardworking developers.
