I fucking hate that scenario. Click on buses: ok, that the corner by a few pixels. Does it expect that or will it make me do another captcha?

It expects you to behave like the other humans in its training sample. Just act like a neurotypical and you'll pass the captcha. And if you can't act like a neurotypical, then you're fucked.

Just tell us if you people click the sliver box or not!

Us people? You mean autistic people? Most of us click the box and that's why we fail the captcha.

Most of the time they already know whether you're human or robot from your user agent string and the speed of your request. I encountered multiple layer of Captchas if I turned in my VPN and blocked all trackers.

Then why does it fail me every other time if it knows I'm human and I don't use a VPN? Very annoying!

I've found that using a VPN tends to get e caught in more Captcha loops than not. I think google, etc. has gotten better at knowing which swathes of IP addresses belong to VPNs. I thought that maybe it was specifically an issue with NordVPN because it had gotten so popular, so I switched to Mullvad and nope. Still get way more captchas. Still keep it on.

Especially notice this whenever I use Tor, sometimes even get stuck in captcha loops
