I used to work in forum software development and thinking CAPTCHAs would slowly become obsolete as better detection methods are pioneered but instead CAPTCHAs just got more pervasive. From my experience, any time a major provider creates a generalized solution, it get attacked very heavily as the benefit to bypassing a general solution is more valuable than a one-off solution. Sufficiently popular services who have a one-off captcha will also be targeted. The only reason why those text-based ones work is because nobody has targeted those yet because the players are just too small.
