I'll be the first to agree with you about some of the navigation shortcomings. I give them a break though. The site is after all still a beta, and it is also free to use.
That is no excuse. Not all of those choices are bugs.
Asking people for their birthdate and their realname is a choice.
Having people agree to a long terms of use is a choice.
Having an annoying youtube video that automatically starts to play is a choice.

(Yes, I can get past the captcha if I want, but that's not the point. The point is that there are thousands of people who'd have rather unnecessary trouble. Here's an example of a good capcha.)
If a capture like Steve isn't handcoded it's no problem for bots to read it.
In addition blind people can't use the website which they can with those speak the words applications.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
