Next captcha from google will be even more aggressive, you're not logged to Google = you're a bot, you can't access that content.

You may be right. But you know what:

If I encounter captchas nowadays and unless I really need to get to that site it's "Fuck you very much!" time.

I'm just not that interested in most of the web to make it woth my while and provide free work for Google.

I cancelled my subscription and deleted Spotify because of that. I can do with streaming of local radio and my own music.

I really hope the EU hits them hard with a GDPR investigation, the amount of identifiable data they collect with reCaptcha is unacceptable.

Some strong statements in these comments on a website with registration and login protected by Google's ReCaptcha. :)

Please explain.

I've never seen a reCaptcha on HN. Is that because I registered my account something like 10 years ago?
