I was recently thinking of another idea where humanity works for Google and everyone's job is to solve recaptchas. Everything is free for people who earn enough credits by solving the puzzles.

Isn't this an episode of black mirror?

[StavrosK]

It is.

Oh funny, which episode? I've never seen the show before.

Someone here had mentioned that they try to incorrectly answer recaptchas as a way to spite them for trying to steal free labor from them. My mind took that to the extreme of everyone working for Google... :)

I believe the parent poster is referring to the second episode [0], where people must earn credits for cycling on exercise bikes.

Yep, exactly. I didn't remember the title offhand, thanks.

Sounds like the plot to For-Profit Online University[1]. "I'm a digital gardener."
