My favorite example is a site that possibly has the torrent file I'm looking for. Every single time I want a file - I have to enter a captcha. When I enter the captcha and there's no file - I feel like a very stupid seal who - again - did a trick on demand but then didn't get the treat of a fish.

I'm specifically pissed off at Google because I'll google shit in an incognito tab because I don't want an endless search history of random fucking bullshit but they've decided that my desktop MUST do a captcha almost every single time and it frequently just decides to go into "turbo fuck you" mode and FAIL ME even when the captcha IS DONE CORRECTLY, over and over again. this should be criminal harassment

Unironically this is what got me to switch all my devices to use DuckDuckGo as default, Google wanted me to solve a captcha every time I searched for something through VPN.

If you use duckduckgo with "g!" at the end, it'll search google through ddg. I mostly use DDR, but I do that when I don't get the result that I want, and Google hasn't made me do a captcha.
