HCaptcha is a drop-in replacement. Altcha is a standalone alternative (no 3rd party server needed).
There is no reason to use reCaptcha anymore.
I know of FriendlyCaptcha. But there's also less annoying alternatives to captcha.
My biggest takeaway from that article is that Google has been charging website owners to train their AI for them. What a bunch of greedy cunts.
Website owners have choices and yet they picked the one. So that's on them.
