Captcha this

It seems as thought LJ has taken it upon itself to present me with a captcha every time I try to leave a comment to someone's entry, despite being logged in. Until this passes, I am not bothering with comments. If it continues, i.e. this has somehow been made permanent and not some sort of temporary glitch, I'm done here. The exploiters owners of LJ have been slowly destroying the user experience here bit by bit. There are more tracking and data-mining mechanisms being thrown into this place monthly, the load times have suffered as a result. I feel less and less inclined to post here. Although I have a Dreamwidth account, my attempts to make it mirror my past entries were an exercise in futility. I have a Blogger account, as well, but that was done solely for leaving comments and participating in some now-defunct discussions. I will make my leave of social media as it stands, since I don't particularly care to be a money-making subject in some big corporate boondoggle.
