Ask HN: Do you think Google's recaptcha has gone greedy off late?

For past some time, on a lot of websites I visit the usual one click 'recaptcha' doesn't work, and it asks me to click various images. That would be ok, but while previously you generally had to click just one category of images, recently I've been noticing they keep on showing multiple images in multiple categories (cars, bicycles, cross walks, buses etc.) and force us to click on all of them. Google is making us do slave work for free, and we don't seem to have many options if we want to use a particular website. Just wanted to check if anyone else has observed a similar pattern.
