Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like "Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!" or click and then unclick a tile like "whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella not a bicycle!" And wiggle the mouse randomly a bit as if Im double-checking my work even when I know damn well I got all the bicycles in 0.67 seconds.

Basically I feel like I have to act dumb so the internet doesn't think I'm a bot. DAE get this?

Honestly it's only between 50 cents to 2 dollars for most but it's added up to a lot over time for me and I've bought myself quite a few things I wouldn't have without this little cash influx. It's tedious as hell but I've made about 3K doing it.

Qmee, Attapoll, Survey Spin, and Leger Opinion. They're all apps.
