There is no conspiracy against faucets.
The reCaptcha has temporary problems (and this is a old issue), but they fix it when they are aware of this or when someone report the issue.
I'm not sure it's really an issue of ReCaptcha, looks it's purposeful. I click the ReCaptcha it doesn't open and says there is an issue with my internet connection, when the captcha opens they want I click waterfalls, trees, store fronts... until there isn't anyone more. But the pictures disappear in slow motion and never let me finish it.
And when I try to change the captcha to voice, it says they can't let me do it because there is something strange here (I don't remember exactly what that said, but something like this, they distrust I'm a bot and can't let me continue).
