I usually intentionally get a few wrong to poison their learning data set. It doesn’t seem to impact the number of things I have to click on to get through.

I’m not sure what they’re measuring, but I doubt it has much to do with image recognition performance.

I just click stuff randomly and then hammer the submit button until the new images load. That seems to work even though I rarely tick the correct squares.

My new strategy is to just file support requests to any company using them, complaining that I did their test correctly but it still rejected me. My idea is quite simply to make reCaptcha unfeasibly expensive to use.

Why does the Deezer app installed on my desktop PC need a daily captcha?

That said, I use it myself on all of my companies' customer support forums to discourage people from sending me those pesky requests. In that sense, it's the new "please hold the line".

In any case, I'm glad that Google's motto is "don't be evil". That reassures me that using reCaptcha is morally acceptable ;)
