Then wait till you hear about the way they are about to change recaptcha. A captcha app that only runs on verified devices, hand gestures, face scans ... I've only learned of that today... I hate this timeline.

This is an infuriating thing to read, especially the day after seeing an article about Anthropic's Scary Powerful AI spending over a hundred dollars failing to solve a single captcha.
Im pretty sure every recaptcha I've encountered has been for a site I could live without.
If I see this app and identity shit I'll probably just save myself some more money by backing out and giving up.
Unfortunate. I'll just have to avoid sites that enforce that dumbass captcha app, driving their traffic down one visitor at a time.
