You know what tinypic implemented?
Video ad captchas.

Captchas.

If that doesn't tell you anything, it makes you sit through youtube video ads before you are allowed to see the captcha.

Be glad those aren't here because you have not seen obnoxious yet.
At least you aren't forced to wait to see the bloody thing.

Since I was unable to contact the help desk due to these very captchas. So I guess, this thread can be my complaint/feedback letter to them.

Actually, I'm fairly certain posting in their usergroup doesn't require a captcha to be entered.

Is this what you tried? If not, I can't believe no one in this thread has linked this yet.

I didn't even know such a thing existed.
I thought you went to the "Contact Us" page at the bottom.

Thanks for the link!

What purpose does the video part even serve?
Other than blatant advertisement?

It puts us in that quasi dimension where there is advertising that is watched by advertising bots and answered by advertising bots to generate revenue for the advertising bots who pay the advertising bots to advertise on the captcha's site.

It's like some giant human centipede of advertising revenue.
