I'm not even doing captchas any more. eBay threw one at me last week so I bought the same item elsewhere.
REcaptcha isn't a captcha. It's an audiovisual skills test that robots can pass & many humans can't.
Wasn't it used to train AI or whatevs lol?
like captcha but it destroys itself
good for it...

Yeah nah, ebay > walmart. I'd rather not support a loud and proud trump supporting company
