The more hoops they've added the worse the quality has gotten. The quality has declined over time, and most of the good answers you see nowadays are from people who got in the habit of contributing back when the process was much simpler, and would likely never have joined the site if it was as onerous as it is today.


On a related note, it costs my employer way more to pay me to solve a captcha than it would to pay a captcha solving service.

At some point, passing the hoops turns into a negative predictor of comment quality.
