For 20$ you can solve a few million ReCAPTCHA's using Buster and a paid-for STT engine. Atm Buster works about 95% of the time, so you'd see significant amounts of spam even with ReCAPTCHA.
I'd love to pay $20 for a firefox extension that makes this problem go away. I use lots of privacy extensions on Firefox, and those Captchas are annoying as hell. Tor is even worse.
Just install Buster, it's free on the Mozilla Addon Site, you can set it to a STT provider other than Google, which I recommend since they seem to detect using their STT engine now.
You can pay for Azure and other STT engines to solve it for you an dthe results are usually a bit better.
