Captchas are a complete and utter scam to gather ML-data.
lmao scam? This is intended purpose and open knowledge. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it a scam.
Still kinda a scam cause theyre dogshit at their sold for purpose, and profit off it
Ironically they’re a cybercriminal’s best friend since if they layer multiple of them together on your site they can annoy online enforcers (and in the case of scrapers, keep out) who might otherwise shut the site down.
They don’t work so well Against targeted attacks but many searches when finding infringing sites are just searches for sites that are infringing.

It’s SO much easier and never has you do like fifty.
Be that as it may, OP should probably ideally be able to identify a bicycle without breaking the system.
It’s never really about identifying anything, recaptcha cares way more about data it has on you to determine if you’re a human or not. If you’ve ever tried to google search with a VPN or Tor it makes it really fuckin annoying
Recaptcha is the most shit service on the web.
Have you heard the Yandex Captcha?
Audio link, if you don’t see the audio above.
The ultimate troll.
Sounded like a call center in India and I had to listen to it like 5 times.
Is that real?
Yes.
I only heard “5” in there.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You see this all the time on a VPN or Tor. Which is super hypocritical of them because the whole goddamn point of a CAPTCHA is to determine whether you’re a human or not when it is uncertain. IP banning you from a captcha of all things because an IP is sending “automated queries” defeats the whole point, the site itself is literally using your service so it can selectively let humans in while blocking automated traffic. If they wanted to ban certain IPs, they can do that directly.

I think the very fact that they IP ban you from their Captcha service proves that Google’s intention was never to actually provide effective Captcha services and “make the web more secure” or any of their marketing BS. Their intention is to have a plausible front for datamining you, nothing more. They directly claim that the reason they ban you is because your automated queries supposely harm their servers (not even some excuse like “oh we’re doing this to protect the poor itty bitty website that use our Captcha and therefore we have a sorn duty to protect,” they straight up admit it’s about them), but think about it, who exactly can DDOS Google? You would especially not be able to do it from a VPN or a Tor node, those are super bandwidth limited, especially the latter. And if you were trying to DDOS Google, you’d be flooding them with inbound UDP data, not loading their captcha service, so banning you from that is only because many automated queries dilute the data they’re trying to collect on humans. Also, in almost all of those cases, you’re IP banned from the captcha, but not google.com or their ads, wouldn’t those be a higher priority if your goal really was to protect yourself? Also also, pretty ironic that Google has a problem with your automated queries when their entire business is automated queries of the entire web, and has been caught ignoring robots.txt rules multiple times.
One time, I was signing up to something with a VPN, and reCaptcha had me doing the captchas 10 times. Never in my life did I have to do so many captchas. Fuck google.
Yeah, that happened to be while back. Turning on enough privacy protection features makes you indistinguishable from all the bots filling the internet with spam. Between fingerprint prevention and temporary containers, my browser looks like an entirely new computer every time I open a new tab, and as you may expect, that’s exactly the kind of browser most websites don’t want hitting important forms.
If you’re on a VPN you an try switching to another exit node, otherwise switching to another browser is probably your best option. If you’re not behind a VPN, you can try getting a different IP address through your router settings. If you’re behind a shared IP address (CG-NAT, commonly used in poor countries and on mobile networks) one of your IP address neighbours is probably letting a botnet runt though their connection and the message won’t disappear for a while
Shit sucks, but got CAPTCHAs to prevent any abuse you need to cut off some users these days. AI has become too good at pretending to be human.
At least Cloudflare has the privacy pass addon that’ll let you bypass fingerprinting derived CAPTCHAs. It’s only going to get worse the coming years as AI gets more powerful.
Is privacy pass still alive?
Privacy Pass lives and is built into Safari, but it’ll only work on Cloudflare based CAPTCHA. Google could implement it in reCAPTCHA if they wanted it, I suppose, but the supposed development of an RFC standard doesn’t seem to have happened yet.
So if captchas such at identifying humans why are we still using them? Just to train googles own personal AI for free? (technically not even, people pay them for recaptcha)
What do you remember about your mother?
The same thing happened to me. Over and over. Turns out I actually remembered my password and didn’t have to reset it.
Have you tried scanning for viruses? There was an email in my spam folder that said I had 28 viruses and if I installed their antivirus software, that would take care of it and now I don’t have any v
