Their recaptcha is broken and causes a lot of pain especially when you're on an ISP that may have had some bad apples (pretty common in India where ISPs don't care about spam or piracy). It's like the whole neighborhood is paying the price of someone else's crime and it feels like the digital version of being racially profiled.
Worst part is even after solving dozens of images (which keep refreshing by the way to no end) you still sometimes get we don't believe you're human comment and no way to go forward.
Cloudflare and this recaptcha can really break the internet for some people, esp in small Indian cities.
- avip 8y agoI'd be surprised if recaptcha uses IP reputation. That being said, a classifier is not "broken" for introducing false-positives. If you read the post, you see that's one of the issues v3 tries to address.

- superasn 8y agoIt certainly does use IP because switching from broadband to 4G (hotspot) fixed the issue even when I didn't clear the cache/cookies. The captcha is broken because at least in my case even after solving dozens of images (which keep refreshing now btw) it still can't be convinced I'm human.
- tinus_hn 8y ago> especially when you're on an ISP that may have had some bad apples This is like the old ‘unblock my spammy provider’ tune. Don’t expect the world to pay the price for your providers laziness.
