It’s so obvious it’s a scam too because of how vague some of the “challenges” are. “Click all the squares that contain a bike” and then you do it in every conceivable way AND IT STILL WONT ACCEPT YOUR SUBMISSION. Stupid
I had one today where it was click on all the squares that contain a bus. One square very clearly contained a truck, not a bus. When I didn’t select that square, it told me I was wrong.
I have a suspicion that it might depend on a few factors that might be related to Google’s ability to track, such as the browsers you use and whether you’re on VPN. I saw a post on Lemmy the other day (can’t remember where) that they suspect captcha is more annoying on Firefox, whereas fine with Chrominum-based browsers, esp Google Chrome. I think I sometimes experienced this as well, but I didn’t keep track.

They’re so infuriating.
Sounds about like me every fucking time lol
I’ve had a Captcha that required an image like this one to be classified as a bike
Ceci n’est pas une vélo
Incredible, honestly. Whatta crock 🤣
*un vélo
Well, to be fair, it is a depiction of a bicycle.
Have you considered that you may be a bot?
Well, apparently, statistically speaking he is more likely to be human according to the original post. We’ll never know.
G A S P I’d never thought about it that way before. I need to go see a mechanic now to check
Cease all motor functions, enter Analysis mode, turn the other cheek.
Have you ever questioned the nature of your own reality?
I’ve never in my life failed a captcha. Maybe you’re just bad at identifying bikes?
I just failed five by doing them correctly. It was sure there were more bicycles, but it was motorbikes.
sigh Could be 😔

Yep when using a VPN I get way more captchas on Google web searches (regardless of browser).
It makes it really annoying to search on Google, to the point I want to turn off my VPN or use other search engines.
