Even the UX of reCaptcha has seriously gone downhill recently. I wonder how many hours per week I spend clicking pictures of busses and traffic lights. I would rather pay than complete them at this point.

Where are you running into this problem. I spend an embarrassing amount of time online and I'd probably estimate that I average around 1 minute a month "clicking pictures"

Spend a day or two using Tor browser and you'll feel the pain that recatpcha causes real human users. It's beyond frustrating.

I do a lot of crypto trading, and many sites probably have the reCaptcha security set to max.

If you were to pay, then you'd have to enable Google cookies to know that you've made the payment. If you enable Google cookies for those sites then you don't have to deal with the reCaptcha (as much).

I'm not a huge privacy freak - I have the default cookie settings on all my browsers and I'm signed into multiple Google accounts. They know who I am. I can only suspect my adblocker could be blocking something there, but other than that I should be about a regular of a user as they come.
