I hate captchas with a passion so I'll add another anecdote to the mix:
I'm currently staying in SEA and I love gaming cafe culture here. The only problem is that every time I go to one it takes me good 20 minutes to solve all of the captchas to connect to discord, spotify etc. before I can actually enjoy the experience. So often when I only have 2 hours to spare I really don't feel like spending 15% of that time doing slave labour for google for free instead of enjoying the social gaming experience I went there for.
Sure the cafe could be setup better with more IP addresses or something, it's a small niche scenario and there are probably some hacks around it but it shouldn't be this way - it's just so disgusting how the web got hijacked by this nasty invasion.
Unfortunately minority affected don't have big enough voice in this to bring any change.

- mrspeaker 6y agoI always intentionally click on wrong images, just to see how wrong I can be and still be allowed to go. Initially I could get through easily while choosing wrong images, but now it takes me many goes to get through with even one wrong pick.
