Google do not like 4chan. They want 4chan to be shut down. /pol/'s the current most notorious board and everyone knows its reputation, they don't want it around.
So they bring in moot. Not sure if he's acting of his own will but they need a way to bring down 4chan without just shutting it down, and who better to advise them on that than the creator himself.
It's difficult at first, how do you just stop an internet community this big? Then one day, eureka. Every post requires captcha. Make that a bigger barrier and people are less likely to post. Site activity would tank, and less activity leads to less users.
The next phase is making captcha so cancerous no sane mind would be able to solve it multiple times a day, but not cancer enough to where it can't be used elsewhere. And once that was done, thus begins the slow demise. Orchestrated by Google, inspired by moot, a shutdown from within without ever making it apparent that it's happening
