It's the easiest anti-spam measure, because it makes it expensive enough that spammers won't have a million accounts. Fake account detection is effectively put on the back of mobile carriers

Why not build it yourself ? You'll probably spend more time tweaking template anyway. Plus, if you do it yourself you won't need anybody to maintain it.

It's not that ironic, because the fuel for our comments is all the websites. We use HN to discuss but the vast majority of content is outside HN. Unless you consider HN comments to be the actual content, like many people, me included.
