i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.

i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.

the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:

    I don’t blame you. Personally I get more satisfaction from using fake IDs or directing a video selfie thing to a video game character etc or finding some obscure bypass to whatever bullshit they throw at me. That way I still get what I want from the website and they get nothing of value from me, lmao.
