And if you can't figure out how to make an unsubscribe page that doesn't require a captcha (and is triggered by email scanners) you are incompetent. Claude can figure it out.

Did you mean "and is NOT triggered by email scanners"?

AFAIU, "email scanners" get more aggressive over time, so there is no once-and-forever solution. I guess AI-enabled email scanners can attempt to solve captchas as well.

Email scanners don't exactly publish the methods by which you can reliably determine if a page was loaded or a link was clicked by a security scanner. If they did not appear human, then they'd be easy to trick and then not do their security job well.
