I immediately back out whenever encounter Recaptcha.
The other day I was forced to endure it, because I wanted to delete my ancient Minecraft account, since Microsoft pulled a Facebook and are going to require a Microsoft account to play going forwards. Without exaggeration, it took me 15 minutes of training Google surveillance AI (had to solve it three times), for Recaptcha to let me in. I guess Google really hates me.
- wolco2 6y agoAre you sure you are human?
- encom 6y agoYes, definitely. https://v.redd.it/uaefcc2mztj31/DASH_720 https://v.redd.it/uaefcc2mztj31/DASH_720
- myself248 6y agoI'm human enough, and I've been a licensed driver long enough, to recognize that rumble strips at the side of a road are not crosswalks. But apparently enough bots thought they were that the system is now trained on that 'fact', and I as a human am forced to misidentify rumble strips as crosswalks to pass as human. It's bizarre.

- db48x 6y agoI do the same thing.
- WalterSear 6y agoThis sounds like it has the potential to be a modern version of the credit score: avoid it enough, and you become persona non grata. That is, for more than 15 minutes.
- Kwpolska 6y agoTry reCAPTCHA’s audio version (the headphones icon), it’s much easier than guessing what images it wants you to click (if you speak English, have headphones, and are not hearing-impaired).
- dalmo3 6y agoYesterday I spent the longest ever with a recaptcha, about 2-3 minutes, at a frigging checkout page. I decided to endure it just because I really needed that ergonomic kb+mouse combo. Hopefully they'll allow me to solve captchas for longer without getting a RSI.
- meibo 6y agoYou're doing something very wrong if you take 15 minutes to solve these and aren't on Tor. Even on public VPN and Firefox this doesn't happen usually. I know people that pick the wrong options to fuck with their models though, and then go on HN to complain about recaptcha being annoying.
- randunel 6y agoI have similar issues. I do not pick the wrong options. It also doesn't take me too long to solve the captchas, leading to "too many queries from your ip address". This is what internet users deal with when blocking most google services.
