The sad part is that these don't really stop bots, captcha solver services have bot accessible APIs which can be used to solve these things for malicious actors, they pay real people pennies to solve them and sell it as a service. Similar to click farms.
Yet they expect us to praise them for it and excuse them treating us like criminals when the criminals have easier access than we do. Fuck that, reCaptcha is useless for its intended purpose, and anyone who says otherwise or excuses its usage is a shill or an idiot. Sometimes I think about paying for a captcha solving service myself to be able to skip them when they get annoying. If they continue to get worse I might do that, and I'd encourage others to do the same if they desire to.
I think as a script thwarting method against low effort spam, they are over-engineered to the point of being hostile towards users because they indeed do try and target those types of spammers and bots, and also making the experience miserable for real people with hidden fail-states and shadow-bans and many hidden rules.
It's intended purpose is AI training for images...
Yeah, the fighting bots thing is an excuse to get us to work for them for free.
