Yeah, I get these. The problem is that the Captchas take forever to fill out (like 5 minutes of challenges). But the worse part is that the captchas are asking for wrong answers. It tells you to select scooter and there's no scooter in the photo but it thinks there is. So you just end up stuck in a captcha loop for a long time.
I am not sure why I get them but it might be due to using anti-fingerprinting tools.
- freedomben 3y agoI've wondered if it isn't intentionally impossible to solve, because "the algorithm" decided that you're a bot or malicious and they want to spin your cycles endlessly. The affect on me know is I won't even try anymore, I'll just take a different route. That may even reinforcement teach the system that I was a bot that couldn't solve it
- metalforever 3y agoI think it's more malicious than that. They know I use privacy tools and can't be tracked -> they can't make money on me -> bully me into not using their service.

- privacyking 3y agoI sometimes get multiple captchas in a row that I fill correctly but they keep on showing more..I then just do the audio one which works.
- 20after4 3y agoThis is probably the common thread among all the people reporting this. As an alternate date point, I haven't experienced the captcha from using advanced search queries.
