Am I the only one who uses chess CAPTCHA as free puzzles?

Actually yeah i also use these puzzles on lichess as puzzles, i mean avoids you to open that puzzles tab and no pressure of ratings too...
But they're too easy so that's a thing
I mean the one I have got here is the classic 4 move checkmate hehe
I use the forum to create free horsies as I don't manage to promote any in real games.
Why do you count them as puzzles? Its equivalent to say that you went to the gym because you moved your hand.

That's true. I typed this, so I worked out.
If you can't solve them, then you can't play chess and you are trying to post on the wrong website.

It is interesting to me that one would have to solve a puzzle in order to post. However, puzzles are free on this site, along with every other feature. You can pay Lichess for a special icon beside your username to show that you are a patron, but no features are hidden behind a paywall. Perhaps that is why it appears the average Lichess player is much more skilled than the average Chess.com player, besides having higher rating limitations on this site (likely the main cause of this). The CAPTCHA puzzles are lower-level, one-move puzzles, and do not affect your rating in any way, but you can simply flip the "Rated" switch off if you don't want puzzles to affect your rating when solving them.
