Pure speculation. Care to expound?

It is, and I don't know the reason. But he says it's to stop bots and it obviously doesn't. And got angry when asked about it.

He didn't say it stopped it all, but cut down on the spam and it was unmanageable otherwise.

I think he lied about that, I didn't notice a change and in fact we have more Bots now, turning it off for a short time now would prove it, I also asked where the canary is and he got furious. Out of character for him.

My theory is it's part of dead internet, they don't want to just shut down all sites like this right away, would make people suspicious, just make it annoying so we willingly stop going to sites like this.

The only thing that would prove the amount of bot spam are server logs.

Also, if the canary is dead, it probably means they got subpoenaed for info and issued a gag-order (or made a backroom deal for cash or something). Probably not a big concern unless you're being such a big idiot doing harmful stuff that they want to give up their cover to apprehend you. You're safe telling the usual epithet-loaded jew hating, black hating, mexican hating ragebait.
