I have nothing to add, other than that yes, recently I noticed an increase in challenges. I do use a VPN. I'm not entirely sure I'm not just imagining it, but it certainly seems to be the case. It used to be bearable. Now I have to go through multiple series of challenges often, sometimes many times. I'd take a computational challenge over spending a minute selecting images any day. Edit: Sometimes it's so bad that I get the impression that a site is a scam attempting to get me to fill out reCAPTCHAs so bots can use them.
