2. karma largely solves this
3. Publishers want as low a barrier to commenting as possible- even a captcha is too high for some. Lots of comments creates the impression of lots of readers which brings in lots of advertising.
4. No one is going to pay to comment.
It's a dead duck. Look at making karma portable between sites - HN, SO etc.
- syllogism 16y agoI think you're just not using sites where this is a problem. Any site that currently pre-moderates comments is a potential customer to a service such as this. For instance, websites of dead tree media must defend their brand vigorously, as it's all they've got left. So the quality of their comments matters a lot.
