Interesting. Why would they present it to the user? Are they presenting captchas to sites they're trying to scrape to their users?

Yeah, I think it's just a cheap way to get around anti-scraping captchas.

The alternative would be to use an anti-captcha service that outsources captcha solving to people in low-wage countries, but that's probably a bit expensive given archive.today's scale.
