How many hours do you reCAPTCHA per week?

[d0bby]

I didn't count, but I've spend too much time solving reCAPTCHAS. Google should be paying us for that. I'd guess an AI creates the tasks and x humans verify it -> the AI learns. Whatever their profitmodel is besides tracking, we should get money for that. For giving our data (another topic) and for every hour of solving those damn captchas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B4bEXLJIl8

I use https://github.com/dessant/buster if I need to.

Cool project, but I'm afraid it can't always be reliably used. Whenever I'm travelling and using VPN services, the audio challenge option isn't available; I think something about VPNs increase the risk profile perhaps. Of course if you happen to be blind and using a VPN you're just out of luck I guess.

I'm using it with a VPN rn, it's working fine. But yeah using a VPN/TOR increases the risk profile (or whatever they call it). It even slows down the animation of loading new images, it drives me crazy.

I'm trying it out right now. Works! I heard about people using Googles Speech-to-Text to solve the audio challenge some time ago... ty for showing this 1!

Basically zero. Most sites I use I have accounts on, so I don't get captchas there. And those I don't... well my Gmail account basically means I skip the captcha altogether (at the cost of being tracked by Google).

Zero. I stopped using sites that use recaptcha.

[d0bby]

I'm trying to do so too, but it's hard. But it's hard to find alternatives for some sites...

[db48x]

Agreed. In fact, there's still one that I use which has recaptcha, but it won't be a problem unless I ever have to log in again. As long as I still have a valid cookie I won't have to, but I guess I can't count on that lasting forever...
