I'm not sure the claim about recaptcha is (or was) correct.
In my whole life, I have been hit with maybe 2-3 recaptcha before accessing a website.
They probably upgraded the system since then, but still, feels like the author is just pissed without any good reason. (actually I would have expected a mention about google collecting data with this but it's not even mentioned)
- boudin 5y agoIt really dependa of your ip. If you're in a block that has a bad rep, you'll have the captcha every single time. This seems legitimate but this is definitely not applied per ip, it's apply per ip block. I have a server that i rented for more than 10 years now, used only as a mail server and a vpn endpoint, i get captcha everytime when I use my vpn. Now, for someone who lives in a country where ISPs have a bad rep, this makes part of the web horrible. People are then considered as bad actors by default with no way to improve their experience.
- trav4225 5y agoYup. Personally, I'm constantly being hit by CAPTCHAs. For some inexplicable reason, I sometimes have to solve several (5 or 6?) in a row before a site will let me in.

- trav4225 5y agoWow. I haven't had an ISP that used CGNAT in a long time, but something vaguely related is probably happening. Maybe I occasionally get assigned IPs that are on some sort of abuse list...
- machello13 5y agoIn my experience, using a VPN will get you the captcha every single time.
