That's an interesting take. Everything costs money. You know the reason why the CAPTCHA service is free is because they have value in the results of the CAPTCHA, right? You're not viewing ads or paying for this service. I'd prefer not to help Google either, but nothing is truly free.
Do you know how ReCAPTCHA started? Digitalizing old analog books. Probably just as commercial, but it feels better than training a ML algorithm for an international conglomerate.
