    How does that make it acceptable? I’ve had to do like 6 minutes of free labor in the past 10 years. Google owes me like $6-10 for that bullshit.

      Since i started getting in to online privacy, I’ve been stuck in captcha-purgatory a lot…it just keeps loading a never ending stream of new captchas for me to solve.

        Yeah, there was a chunk of time where there was some spat going on between them and VPN providers, and whenever I would wind up on an exposed VPN server every single captcha would take over a minute of clicking through different prompts. Happened so frequently for the fastest server that I just switched to Firefox and DuckDuckGo because I couldn’t stand getting hit every single time I googled something. Not just every session, but literally every single search.

        The worst was when it would test me for several minutes straight, and then have the gall to tell me to start over again. Google’s really been racing to the bottom lately.
