Ask HN: What do you do when you get soft banned from captcha?
I'm not sure why but I haven't been able to pass any captcha I've been served in the last 2-3 days. It just keeps giving me images to solve and eventually will say that I failed and need to start over. When I click the audio button (my normal workaround), it says that my computer is sending automated queries and that I can't be verified right now.
I'm using a regular residential IP, chrome, I'm signed into my 10+ year old google account, and haven't been doing anything nefarious. Other than adblock and decentraleyes I don't have any anti-tracking. I honestly have no idea what to do, 80% of the sites I visit won't even let me in, and I can't login to any of my accounts. Even my bank isn't letting me login to pay my bills, which is really frustrating. I had to call them to get them to send me a paper bill and ask for an extension. Luckily they were understanding (apparently I wasn't the first to call - did google change something recently?).
