Getting sick of these strange new hCaptchas. Click the thing that's only appearing once? Click I this exact order π±π₯Ίπ ππ€. Click the stadiums from SimCity?!? Hopefully websites switch to turnstile fast.
I fail hCaptcha a surprising number of times, and I'm sure it's actually doing that on purpose so we help it label more images for AI training.
It's like "select all flowers" and then you have 7 AI generated horses, and one AI generated flower. I pick the flower and "try again!" with a new set of images.
Yeah. Its better than reCaptcha - do I click those 3 pixels of the traffic signal it not!?! - but it's still an obstacle that dimenishes the experience.
Wow, people will complain about literally anything. "I hate Google's Recaptcha" --> hCaptcha. "I hate hCaptcha" --> turnstile. Inevitably it'll be "I hate turnstile".
Yes. Obstacles on the pathway to what I'm clicking in to are obnoxious. Hopefully turnstile isn't an obstacle.
And websites the have to protect access to their resources. You don't have an innate right to unimpeded access to someone else's server.
