As a site owner I know captchas are vital in the battle of not being overwhelmed with spam, but as a user I hate Recaptcha with a passion.
Every time I’m asked to identify the motorbikes or traffic lights I feel like google should be paying me a few cents each time for helping train their machine learning algorithms.
And on mobile the experience is even worse. Depending on the placement of the captcha box half to a third of the tiles might be off the edge of the screen, making it impossible to solve. Seriously, how can Google not have a mobile version in 2018?

Over and over again, too. It's completely overdone. I have had screen after screen of images to click on before the Recaptcha is finally happy that I'm human / I've provided enough training data for whatever object they're currently trying to get their cars not to run into. I wouldn't really object to "of these three pictures, which is a motorbike", but when I'm on my 4th or 5th screen of 9 images each I'm getting pretty annoyed... And they're so slow to fade in, too!
