captcha annoyance because of vpn use?

If I use a vpn I meet more captchas. Some times I get a message
saying, you are accessing from another device. And a
captcha displays. For instance an email provider did it. Does
that mean a number of services know my ip address and verify it every time?
Do the captchas have a purpose or are they meant to discourage
use of vpn? Thank you.
"Another device" may simply mean "we detected an IP address different from that of your previous visit" which is not equal to "we know your actual IP address from behind the VPN". IOW it is possible that your VPN exposes a different public IP address for different sessions and the remote server detects this and wants to check if you are human (especially if they have detected a suspicious traffic pattern from a particular network segment).
Google CAPTCHAs are one of the ways they can track you. I recommend boycotting every Google service, including their CAPTCHAs, if you value your privacy. Look for alternative websites that either don't require CAPTCHAs or host their own. There is no reason information about you accessing a website should be relayed to a third party.
Google's recaptcha should be banned everywhere. It's just so annoying and corrupt and arrogant. :/
I don't get why tor browser users can't use a website as long as they don't log in (if it is one of those free streaming sites) as a bare minimum i mean.
Or if its something which you need to login to use, you can.
Then again, proprietors are known to be arrogant so this pretty much sums up the issue...

Agreed. The first time I see a captcha is usually the last time I visit that site.
