I'm not even doing captchas any more. eBay threw one at me last week so I bought the same item elsewhere.

REcaptcha isn't a captcha. It's an audiovisual skills test that robots can pass & many humans can't.

add more layers and I'll do the same, close the tab and just go elsewhere. it's not worth the hassle.

Google being a little removed and saying it "detected abnormal traffic coming from my IP" (I was googling something I google often) was my last straw, which ultimately led to me being here and degoogling.
