I’m curious about this. Can you give an example of the kind of query you are talking about where Google assumes you are a bot and not a human?

- bloaf 6y agoI get them all the dang time Suppose I want to search for a textbook in an open directory. This query will get flagged almost immediately: textbook -inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:asp intitle:"index of" +(epub|mobi|pdf|txt) Suppose someone says to me "no one in this forum believes (dumb conspiracy theory from Obama-times)" or "the lamestream media never reported on X." Naturally I will do a few quick iterations of conspiracy related "terms" site:someforum.com before:2017-01-01 which will trigger a humanity check if you iterate too quickly. I got hit recently when the news about Tucker Carlson's racist writer came out. I set out to find the full threads in which the offending comments were made. Iterating through combinations of text, usernames, and urls like "full text of offensive post" username before:date-news-broke -inurl:news got me checked every 3rd search or so.
