> we won't see a dime of it!

We users click through recaptchas because they're better at spam prevention and they're free. Why would we expect to get paid for two seconds of thought?

Because the results of those two seconds of thought have value.

Further, we don't know the value. Thought seems cheap to us, but it is clearly valuable to the companies that use it. How do we know it is a fair deal without knowing our thoughts' worth?

It seems unfair to ask us to trade for glass beads.
