I've started turning away from so many sites because they have a CAPTCHA. There are a few sites that are worth it enough to do demeaning work but as I get more fed up they get more rare.

Of course I probably show up as a "blocked threat" on these site's dashboards. So they probably aren't getting the message.

There are very few legitimate usage for CAPTCHAs, but fear mongering CAPTCHA services are trying to convince non-technical people that they are required.
