I am becoming convinced CAPTCHAs are being used as free Mechanical Turks, forcing the user to solve a puzzle far more times than is necessary for some hidden purpose. Latest example, this gem from @Roblox (powered by @ArkoseLabs). /thread

It asks you to solve it five times, which seems overkill already. Then as you solve them, it then wants you to solve even more (once was 7 and another 8). And if you make a mistake, you have to start all over again.
