Gleam refusing to connect with work around in Chrome

Gleam has been playing up for me the last few days, especially in the Google Chrome browser.
Where the widget is suppose to be I keep seeing this:

If anyone else is getting this, if you right click anywhere on the blog post and select 'View Page Source' then press 'CTRL with F' on a Windows device or 'Command with F' on a Mac device, you can type in Gleam and select Enter, it should show you the link direct to the Gleam widget as gleam.oi/numbers/prizename click that link, it will then probably ask if you are human, tick that box, select the boats or whatever the image is asking for a it should take you to the gleam.
It's super easy when you know how. I'm not sure why it has decided I'm not human anymore, I have wondered that about myself sometimes 🤔 😆
I'm not sure if it is just me, but I do know that comps are becoming harder to do with the hassle or Facebook and Instagram changing things too and blocking the simplest of things and accounts. So I thought I'd share this here, just in case people were having the same issue and weren't sure how to rectify it. Although I'm sure someone will probably comment with an easier solution, other than not doing them.

I hate to say it, but I just had a go and it worked ok for me. I did get an error message 'oops' trying to link to Inst from a Gleam, but when I tried another one, it worked fine. Perhaps it's an intermittent thing?
