#2> But, sometimes, when we're not 100% sure if something is malicious or good we issue it a “challenge”.
I think they meant “bot or human”, not “malicious or good”. Bot != malicious. And these challenges will do no good to non malicious bots.

#3> "Earlier this year, Google informed us that they were going to begin charging for reCAPTCHA. That is entirely within their right. Cloudflare, given our volume, no doubt imposed significant costs on the reCAPTCHA service, even for Google."
Even in the article they say... "Google provided reCAPTCHA for free in exchange for data from the service being used to train its visual identification systems." ... I thought this was one of those win/win things... Google gets something, websites get something... what's changed? Is Google not getting much out of reCAPTCHA now?

my bet is that the bean counters have caught up with this product, and it'll be run into the ground with excessive pricing, because Google products have to make millions or otherwise they'll be killed. most notably, Reader.

I think using captchas for image recognition was one of the most ingenious strategies of the modern web. Don't think Google is making the correct move here.
Overall I would like to see these checks removed and Cloudflare is using them quite excessively.

#10Has anyone else seen reCAPTCHA getting way more difficult of late? It often takes me a full minute to find all of the tiny traffic lights hidden away in a set of low-quality images.
