Yeah, it’s definitely a very unique approach I haven’t seen before. I’ve been using the “honeypot” method for years, which has been working surprisingly well.
Apparently the rate of users not using JS is about 0.2% (and has been that way for 10 years), so just applying this solution the the large margins as he’s doing, I’d probably just make an alternate message saying “please enable javascript to contact me” and let that be that.
Eh. These sorts of metrics aren’t always accurate. And the source company did the study in 2016, which was a very very different internet, and doesn’t go into detail about how they were able to determine this number. I would take that with a grain of salt. I agree that just having a notice somewhere is better than not, though.
Wouldn’t this effectively mark all messages from a user who isn’t using JavaScript as spam? 🙃
