    Yeah what’s up with those lately? I’ve noticed them taking longer and longer to solve as well as being more difficult.

      It’s ReCaptcha owned by Google, if you’re using a non-Chrome browser or an ad blocker it punishes you with tedium. Probably illegal to sabotage your competition but when did that ever stop them.

      Supposedly they are more likely to give you captchas if there is high traffic, like every week when people try to claim their prime free games at the same time. If I get a captcha I just close out and try again later because you never know how many you are going to get.

      Could it be AI getting better at solving them, so they need to be more complex? No idea how this works, so just a thought.
