Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it’s downright annoying now.

Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don’t think my setup is that sophisticated lmao

It’s because you are using a VPN. You always get a ton more captchas when using a VPN on some websites. Mainly because they don’t want you using one, so you can be tracked for ads.

You aren’t the only one. I don’t bother solving them anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.

I just use an extension to solve it, that I was told about on here. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/ if it can’t solve it, just hit refresh, and try again.

Humans outsourcing human checks to bots because it’s too annoying to prove they are human. We’ve fallen so far.

No. The point of recapatcha is to punish people protecting themselves. The system absolutely lies to you that you got a challenge incorrect.

This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.

Thankfully, the credit union I use has not implemented that so far. Just 2-factor authentication.

Look, I know I probably have an account balance, and it’s probably positive… What else is there to know?

If you use ad blockers and/or vpn they will just gaslight you forever.

It must be the VPN. Just about every site I visit is worse now. Several times I’ve visited a sites and just been outright denied entry if I don’t turn my VPN off. And I Alt + Left the fuck out of them.

After I started using a VPN it’s way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol

I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don’t know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.

Those are used to train AI, so my guess is there are some kinds of quotas that they have to make within a certain time and when they underperform they just increase the load on each user.

If it has an error it will keep asking you for more forever.

It’s best to refresh the page if you get more than a couple.
