Solving Captcha
When it says "click on all squares with a crosswalk", sometimes there is a tiny piece of the crosswalk in the next square. Do you also click that one? My testing has never found an answer. Because you can't repeat the same Captcha again.I assume we are not supposed to click that square with the tiny piece.

Yes. After all it says all squares with a crosswalk.

It doesn't matter. For the most part, these systems decide whether you are human or not by mouse movement and tracking. They tend to be very invasive.
These image tests are usually just you participating in collective slave labour for them to improve image recognition and stuff. People should get paid for solving captchas. Well, in captcha farms, they usually do - at least I hope so.

AI is learning to break them by assuming that 3-4 of the images will be similar and choosing those lol

Soon captcha will only be something that frustrates fleshies, while the robots have solved the algorithms for how humans select captcha images 😖

Just click and tag the majority of them.

Some already try to trick algorithms by presenting special algorithmically created images. Those castles and stadiums sure are weird-arse looking specimen.

video has your traffic light Captcha

I have to ask for another Captcha several times before I get it right, sometimes you get caught in Captcha circle hell and want to shot the screen

This is correct.
That is why often when you know you've correctly clicked the involved squares, it may say it is wrong. Its because they are making you work for them for free. Its a pretty big scam(if they at least didn't deduct price on website owner for this) for using their API.

Or at least give users a share of the revenue through rewards programmes. Maybe something like Brave's reward programme, but without the extra layer of ♥♥♥♥-coins. You'll only get one or two bucks per month at best, but still better than nothing and should pay for the extra electricity spent on those captchas on your end.

that makes a lot of sense, it happens way too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ often even though i know for a fact i did it right. some types of captcha seem worse than others in this regard, more recent ones i've seen for example like the "choose which animal looks like a hedgehog" or w/e

also google's distorted letters captcha are completely broken for me. they just never work no matter what, and the "audio" it has an option to let you play is completely unintelligible. it doesn't sound like anything
