from "anti captcha" it looks like they are doing as many as 1000/sec solves, 60k min, 3.6 million an hour it would be very interesting to see exactly how this is bieng done?....individuals....teams....semi automation, custom tech?, what? are they solving for crims? or fed up people? obviously the whole shit show is going to unravel at some point, and as the crims and people providing workarounds are highly motivated, with a public seathing in frustration, whatever comes next, will burn faster
They're solving for everyone who needs captchas solved.
It's a very old service, active since 00s. Somewhat affiliated with cybercrime - much like a lot of "residential proxies" and "sink registration SMS" services that serve similar purposes. What they're doing isn't illegal, but they know not to ask questions.
They used to run entirely on human labor - third world is cheap. Now, they have a lot of AI tech in the mix - designed to beat specific popular captchas and simple generic captchas.
