And so would the spammers, which is who captchas are trying to block.

For ease-of-use, most sites only require captchas to be entered once upon
creating the account. Some might also require additional captcha entries
when the account is suspected of spamming. This is ultimately a trade-off
of blocking spammers and allowing accessibility.

Many of the better captchas also include options for an audio cue in
addition to the default visual one.
