> hCaptcha’s solve rate meets a 99 percent benchmark, according to Khedouri, meaning that out of 100 users, 99 can solve the query within two tries.

That’s a 10% fail rate under standard independence assumptions. They wonder why people are freaking out.

For one of my ISPs (carrier grade nat), I get multiple captchas per hour, and frequently find my IP has been shadow banned. This is exclusively while reading the news and using paid accounts in long term good standing.
