    They are testing new spam fighting measures. It takes just a few extra seconds for each question or answer. They have to do something to prevent bots who can take down the sight for days or weeks at a time. Quora is the alternative if you don;'t like it.

  • This is something new to try to deal with the bots that been on this site for the last few years. I have not run into it yet but I am sure I will. It has nothing to do with Google it Verizon Media who is doing this. Verizon Media is just trying to make this site safer for all users.
