The principle is pretty simple : use a little bit of compute. If you're a bot and want to visit many sites the cost will add up, if you are a human going to a website the 1 second cost for the initial page is not a big deal.
Also notice the difference with the extremely annoying cloudflare checkbox asking if you are a human that became ubiquitous lately. I'd rather wait a second.
The cloudflare checkbox also loads for a second and redirects you 9/10 times.
Captchas and whatnot have done what Anubis does (a bit fancier even) for a while
