For years we have used reCAPTCHA for protection while staying open and allow code execution by millions of people without an account. Sadly, Google decided to charge absurd amounts for the service, so we're going to have to make some changes:https://blog.repl.it/anon

Yeah I'm curious how much this is due to SLT demanding more money be made vs someone eyeing for promo by demonstrating how much "value" they can create by charging a lot here
