    Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it’s downright annoying now.

    Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don’t think my setup is that sophisticated lmao

      It’s because you are using a VPN. You always get a ton more captchas when using a VPN on some websites. Mainly because they don’t want you using one, so you can be tracked for ads.

      You aren’t the only one. I don’t bother solving them anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.

      After 2, I say “fuck it” and find a different option.

          Look, I know I probably have an account balance, and it’s probably positive… What else is there to know?

          Thankfully, the credit union I use has not implemented that so far. Just 2-factor authentication.

      After I started using a VPN it’s way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol

      This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.

          I burned off my fingerprints so maybe that’s why.

          It must be the VPN. Just about every site I visit is worse now. Several times I’ve visited a sites and just been outright denied entry if I don’t turn my VPN off. And I Alt + Left the fuck out of them.

            Same. Every time I get a captcha I remember it’s because I don’t have Google sitting on my shoulder watching literally every move I make on my browser.

      If it has an error it will keep asking you for more forever.

      It’s best to refresh the page if you get more than a couple.

      If i try to pretend im a human it goes faster. Fidget with the mouse, hesitate and make a few small mistakes.

      Those are used to train AI, so my guess is there are some kinds of quotas that they have to make within a certain time and when they underperform they just increase the load on each user.

      I do but I’m pretty sure it’s cause I select EVERY frame the object is in.
