Strangely as lockdown eases the level of bot activity is ramping up, much as it died down when lockdown started.  Maybe bots find the sites and post vaguely relevant drivel but real people have to solve the captcha, and that's a 'job' they couldn't do from home?

You may be seeing more because I used to remove posts in the morning UK time but now I'm working early so can't :(

Currently I sleep like cavemen surely did: sun down -> bedtime, sun up -> get up (https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)

Unfortunately I'm a night owl so it's not great for me.
