I would easily pay 0.0005 per solve if it meant I don't have to deal with a captcha again when browsing.

There is buster: https://github.com/dessant/buster

Wasn't something I mentioned earlier but using the reCAPTCHA audio is also another solution for gcap. I haven't ever used it personally but always seemed like a cool idea.

I use it all the time and it works very well. I got my own tts api token so that I don’t run into overquota errors from the shared default token.

It’s also very satisfying to know I’m not an unpaid mechanical Turk for google anymore and that it’s a machine solving another machine’s challenge.

I'll try that, thanks! I can confirm audio CAPTCHAs are much easier, I always use those.

I assume there is a business opportunity here.

"Break something and then sell the solution" is always a business opportunity.

The biggest issue here is solve latency. If I'm on a page with a captcha, I would definitely pay $0.0005 to not have to solve the captcha (hell, I'd pay $0.01), but I'm not sure I'd pay $0.0005 and wait 30 seconds.
