never mind the fact that half these captchas are just excuses for orgs to sneakily extract some reinforcement learning data from you. last time I tried to sign into my microsoft account it made me do 6 captchas. SIX. not six like I failed 1 captcha six times, six like each captcha was iteratively marked i/6





Most of the time you get captcha failures like that it's because you're also doing things that are good for your security like blocking all kinds of 3rd party bullshit. I've had to do things like turn off adblock on a page to get past the captcha before turning it back on.

it wasn't a failure, but I do see what you're saying
