Thanks for giving your own experiences of how we are all 'victimized' ,in one way or other, by this 're re re re re .....captcha'.And I too started feeling this google captcha problem has something intentional motive (google being against bitcoin) as some one said elsewhere.
I try to make something regarding this problem since I have faucet list and reCaptcha giving me big problems when checking faucets.Only way to change situation is to inform faucet owners,so I send around 100 e-mails/PM on FaucetHub but only few owners remove reCaptcha or add second option.
You may notice that even you have problem with reCaptcha,on some sites/faucets it is very easy to solve that captcha.When you get block from google to even try to solve captcha,there is link to check is problem is on your side or in this case faucets side.You need to solve simple text reCaptcha and you will see that problem is on faucets side.Reason is simple,too many bad/suspicious traffic is detected on faucets so google raises the level of difficulties to protect site from bots,and in the same time legit users pay the price.
So reCaptcha is good anti-bot protection,but at the same time it can completely block real users to claim.Unfortunately many faucet owners still use that captcha,some of them simply because they do not care for users problems,others do not know how to make a change.
