There was a somewhat viral video which included a lady explaining the search in detail which is more likely where the recent popularity stems from.

I actually utilized an API that did just that in some automated software I wrote with a friend a few years ago. Was actually sort of interesting how it all worked with sending the captcha then checking for the solution string after the person had solved and inserting that back into the page before carrying on.

Pretty sure at the time the cost was something like .013 cents per solve. I always wondered who the people sitting there doing that were or what their situation was.

I have always found it strange that some people think Trump just says these things of his own volition. As if the President of the United States wouldn't be advised by some very, if not the most intelligent people our country has to offer. I guess some would say the blind faith is dangerous but at the same time I look at it as being common sense that our President would not advise something that could potentially kill people.
