Why do I have to solve a quiz to answer a question here , isn't that very boring?

It's boring, time consuming, insulting and frustrating.

To Prove that you are a Human being and Not a Bot something new that Yahoo is Testing out Yahoo is trying to Control Spam and Bots and such Its not just you thats seeing them a lot of Other Users are starting to see it come up

It ain't as bad as receiving the message "please try again" when you did the CAPTCHA RIGHT!

It kinda is, but it's there for a good reason to make sure no one is a bot on this site.

Yahoo's new bot blocker that is not working

It's not as bad as the tons of spam that were plaguing this place a few months ago.

you need to ask ya this question, i find it very annoying rnyself

MANY have asked about this here already. The captcha is a security measure that began on 5/27/19, to prove you are a human user and not a bot program attempting to use the site. Apparently Verizon Media chose to hire the services of Google to provide that function (as noted by the text at the bottom right of the pages “This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.”), instead of programming it themselves. Hopefully the captcha's will be required less frequently, soon. Otherwise, I see another migration of users away from the site due to the added annoyance. If you select the headphones icon to listen to an audio captcha, and type in a single significant word you hear, you’ll get through it quicker than selecting images.

Any time you have an issue with the site or something changes, scroll through the Yahoo Products>Yahoo Answers subcategory and see if anyone else has posted about it. You can find your answer and save yourself 5 pts a lot of times. That’s what the site was designed for (so users wouldn’t need to re-post questions that had already been asked and answered multiple times)

It is to stop the spammer bots.
