Yes, somehow captchas gets solved... But yes, I think it helps.

There are third-world sweatshops that solve capchas for a fraction of a penny. I imagine they provide an API, so your bot makes an http call and gets a solution back.

quick search, and I've found a quote of $1.8 per 1000 recaptchas with average response time of ~10s.
