They're probably using https://2captcha.com/ https://2captcha.com/ They pay 50c per 2 hours to the workers, and API access costs 50c-$1 per 2000 solved captcha

They pay 50c per 2 hours to the workers, and API access costs 50c-$1 per 2000 solved captchas.
I think most of the people doing this are in India, where US 50c for a couple hours translates well enough. (Completely naive about the truth of the situation though.)
- SyneRyder 8y agoOne of the regular spam messages mentions the software they're using ("You read this, so you know it works!"), so it's pretty clear that ReCaptcha has already been defeated. I'd mention the software, but I'd rather not give them publicity. Others have been able to beat reCaptcha too, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsF7enQY8uI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsF7enQY8uI
