5.2 is not close to 7.25. That's like 30% less than the minimum wage. Minimum wage itself is a massive struggle but 30% less is just plain offensive and dehumanising.

Solving dumb captchas is never a fair or decent way to earn money, not when you are poor and definitely not when you are young. Creating living conditions for other human beings where they can be easily exploited and used for mindless degrading work such as solving dumb captchas is one of the most grotesque things of the 21st century.
