Stop visiting sites and using services that use reCAPTCHA. Problem solved.

With the new reCAPTCHA this is going to happen because most human visitors will actually be unable to pass the CAPTCHA. It will be interesting to see whether this makes websites ditch reCAPTCHA or whether they literally just don't care about having customers, an attitude that seems to be getting more and more common every day.

I'd love to, but I'd not be able to visit many sites anymore thanks to Cloudflare...

Yeah, live in a cave, and problem solved.

However much I hate it, right now among the sites using reCAPTCHA there are many that I strongly want to use.

Let's find a better solution please

No. Bigger problem created, since there are innumerable government, health care, and educational web sites that use reCAPTCHA.

I'm not going to give up reading the test results from my doctor because of some simplistic ideologue decides that it's "problem solved."
