Captcha is like locking your car... There are still ways to get in, but it blocks the casual efforts.

I review my reports. I review spam on my instance. None of us are going to be perfect.

Do you review upvote bots? The spam is an easily replaceable account, the coordinated army of upvote bots may be harder to track down.
