I get those from time to time. Isn’t just solving the captcha enough to reach the page?

  This is dependent on a host of things, such as OP using a VPN lol. A lot of people are opting away from Google as a standard, to add to that, American websites are a real pain when it comes to harvesting personal information and as such when you see a horrific anti-user gdpr notification you just ... Leave. Same with constant captcha. I'd like to see stats on websites using OneChoice or whatever its bs name is. For a site called hackernews there sure is a large lack of care regarding personal information.

  > Isn’t just solving the captcha enough to reach the page? sure but why not using an alternative service that doesn't have the reCaptcha to start with? Edit: Just to explain more the problem: depending on your privacy settings, it might take up to a couple minutes to solve the reCaptcha because Google makes it much harder for users who are running anti-fingerprinting tools in their browser. This is also my case. In the end, I usually just give up and don't visit the page in question.
