Personally I hate captchas. They are designed to steal my time while also
serving our master lord Google from getting more information about us
(granted, we can use torbrowsers probably and stuff but these can be
cumbersome and slow, so this is a usability downgrade too).
In my opinion this is not a good situation both ways; either way you trade
in some disadvantages with another one. Such as wanting to prevent
scripted votes, versus stealing time from human beings.
IMO it may be better to associate "karma" points with accounts; surely
some algorithm could be used that accurately attaches "voting behaviour"
with real human beings, rather than penalize everyone merely because
some script kiddies want to pat their small egos (and it's not the only
thing being small with them).

And others do not think this is a good "trade off" at all, so you promote
one variant while excluding and discounting those who dislike
captchas. I am hardly the only one disliking captchas.
Having said that, though, admittedly I am kind of past the typical
player base's age now.
