      When do you come across these slow captchas? Does it only happen when you browse incognito or something? Perhaps the captchas are deliberately made slower if they suspect you to be a bot, just to slow down abuse.

    The worst is when they tell you to click on all the buses, then there's one image with a bus in the distance and you don't know if it counts or not, so you click on it and then have to do it all over again.

      And the worst kind of captcha is the one with a grid image like you 1 single image divided by a grid. And they are like select every traffic light or something. I swear to god i have never once completed that one. Ever

This can throw automated bots off because you'd have to program that bot to recognize a captcha prompt instead of tell it to immediately answer one that is anticipated.

    I was once asked by a Captcha facility to click on all the 'sidewalks'. In Australia, we don't use the term 'sidewalk' - so I had no idea which little squares to click on. I had to Google the definition of 'sidewalk'. I have heard the word 'sidewalk' on American sitcoms, but not within the context of what they looked like. Americans need to understand that not the whole world is American. Make the Captcha tests culturally specific. Here in Australia, sidewalks are called 'pavements'.

    I would venture tracking software is used for advertisements. Taking note on what people click on or what they hover over without clicking, which products are chosen immediately and which are thought about for a little longer can be really valuable in marketing. Seeing which parts of the screen attention focuses on can also help with ad placement.

    I think the most terrifying part is eventually the bots will learn to be completely indistinguishable from humans, and sites will have to find another way to validate you are human, and there is a non zero chance that way will be having to tie accounts with legal government ID via some kind of validation service in order to sign up to things, at which point anonymity will become impossible with services having some kind of ID specific to your real identity
