Yea how about 20
VPN? Google will just go in a loop with these things, so I just stopped using Google completely.
No. But it's also not like I get 20 constantly, it was just the worst I've seen. Usually it's 2 to 5, I think.
I assume they're just collecting data on how many are users willing to do.
One time I did five in a row, because I use VPNs for everything, and realized after the 5th time that it would have been easier to just use bing so I do that first now. Google has turned into my last last resort, which is quite funny, because that’s where Bing used to be. Lmao
Whenever I'm on a private window the captchas just keep on coming. Trying to reset your Steam password via the program will also trigger an infinite loop of captchas, you HAVE to use a browser.
if you have to do that many, you either have some privacy setting on or on a flagged ip given from a VPN
Well yah of course I do. Why the hell is that 'abnormal'?
Most people don't, most bots do. You look more like a bot, so you get extra challenges.
its abnormal to them because vpns are often also used by bad actors. your use is not abnormal but its a there are other people misusing it making it worse for everyone else.
Wow, way to blame individuals who take basic precautions instead of the corporations who are blantly invading your privacy. Good job making the world a better place, bud.
point where i blame the individuals, the blame is clearly on the bad actors (e.g bots)
Or google knows you will out up with it and want the most interaction it can get from you.
Google's just lonely 🥺👉👈
Yeah exactly
I tried to order some components on Digikey a few months ago and I’m still mentally scarred. Probably did a few hundred of those things over the course of 2 weeks.
That’s because you’re shady.
They knew I was committing crimes with my adblocker.
The worst kind - crimes against profit!

Not going to his shithole website.
Had this when at uni, mostly due to the amount of requests coming from a single IP
