from "anti captcha" it looks like they are doing as many as 1000/sec solves, 60k min, 3.6 million an hour it would be very interesting to see exactly how this is bieng done?....individuals....teams....semi automation, custom tech?, what? are they solving for crims? or fed up people? obviously the whole shit show is going to unravel at some point, and as the crims and people providing workarounds are highly motivated, with a public seathing in frustration, whatever comes next, will burn faster
