It’s so obvious it’s a scam too because of how vague some of the “challenges” are. “Click all the squares that contain a bike” and then you do it in every conceivable way AND IT STILL WONT ACCEPT YOUR SUBMISSION. Stupid

    Have you considered that you may be a bot?

    I’ve had a Captcha that required an image like this one to be classified as a bike

    Ceci n'est pas un vélo

    I have a suspicion that it might depend on a few factors that might be related to Google’s ability to track, such as the browsers you use and whether you’re on VPN. I saw a post on Lemmy the other day (can’t remember where) that they suspect captcha is more annoying on Firefox, whereas fine with Chrominum-based browsers, esp Google Chrome. I think I sometimes experienced this as well, but I didn’t keep track.

    Yep when using a VPN I get way more captchas on Google web searches (regardless of browser).

    It makes it really annoying to search on Google, to the point I want to turn off my VPN or use other search engines.

    I’ve never in my life failed a captcha. Maybe you’re just bad at identifying bikes?
