So you want us to DDoS the captcha networks? Hmm is that even legal? But it would be somewhat cool if millions of people starting failing captcha on purpose it would be something like decentralized volunteer mass ddos attack.

Wouldn't be a DDoS. At least, I don't think it would.
It would just be simply people refusing to work on captchas more than a certain amount. Basically, if you make me hunt for bikes and there's more than 3 of them, then I'm not doing it. More akin to a deliberate labor slowdown than a DDoS, or even a strike.

How do you know how many bikes are out there in total? And what is a purpose of a deliberate labor slowdown if you are going to get more captcha work if you do not finish your current one.
I mentioned DDOS because every time you fail to satisfy captcha criteria website requests a new batch of captcha for you; in that way you would be constantly requesting a new captcha if you would be deliberately failing your current one or as you described imposing a "hunt limit" upon yourself.
