but sometimes recaptcha has some problems that we need to do for twice, and each challenge are very bothering.. use around 3mins to finish it.

It is annoying and irritating indeed. But the site that is using that has the valid reason for putting up a captcha for every user or visitor who is visiting the site. What I only regret or have a reservation is the site which only requires to comment or to give a reaction to the post. Why is it using that? A bot could do that. What is your point of view on this?

some of them are impossible so you have to keep refreshing to find one that is legible.

This is one way of nuisance. Another way some sites do is keep on supplying image boards and asking us to click once on roads then on signals then on cars...and the headache continues.

That's why I failed miserably working on a captcha site for making money

Even otherwise solving captchas for money is not worth it. I came across a site which offered 32 cents for solving 1000 captchas. Is it worth our time?

recaptcha still much annoying for this week. It keep that we should solve two tasks to complete, each of two tasks are most annoying tasks , need three minutes to solve both. This can affect much in facuet earning

I always have to wonder what they do with those CAPTCHA solves...

Nothing. It is just to know that whoever is trying to do something is a 'human' and not a 'bot' or a machine. But for that 'once ' is enough. Why do they upload so many images especially in the case of captchas where users are compelled click so many images window after window. It is nothing but a sheer madness.

Haha! you had me at the title Captcha Menace. True. Those little boxes can be irritating. Especially if you can't see if it's number one or letter I.

Captcha is a security to differentiated between human and bots and to prevent spam bots and ad bots from signing up. It's very annoying when one is attempting to solve some of the captchas which may sometimes prove to be very difficult to decipher.

Indeed. There have been studies showing bots could decipher some captchas better than how humans did. Some captchas are definitely pointless! But now we have reCaptcha, clicking on roads for a full minute to prove I'm human, yay!

I prefer word captchas over image captchas.

Word captchas are okay. Image captchs are again a torture.

[happycamper]

Captcha stops spam bots right? But I've encountered so many spam bots on sites with captchas anyways! How does that work? Is there a problem-solving algorithm then?

I mean the sites that pay you to solve them. What are they doing with them? Hmm.

I hate those ones too, with all the street signs or click boxes with cars, etc. It just seems to keep going and going. I have a problem reading some of the others, so I have to keep refreshing. I don't mind doing one that's simple, just don't keep wasting my time.

[raaman]

had to try 3 times at least

It is a waste of time and irritating. That is why I hate it.
