Entirely disregarding how it is browsing with Tor and finding ReCAPTCHA so often due to Cloudflare, it's a bother even on a website I regularly use over my normal connection.

Bandcamp is an online music store and I'm prompted for a Google ReCAPTCHA every time I try to log in, which really causes me to do it less often than I normally would, as I must permit Google JavaScript for it to succeed.

I've wanted to send a complaint about this to Bandcamp, but their email is hosted by gmail and none of my messages get to them because I host my own email. Adding reverse DNS and SPF is enough for many email servers, but not Google.

I find it a bad situation that my experience with a business is worse, due to Google, and I can't even contact them to let them know, due to Google.
