I'm imagining something like

- User tries to load the page to comment.

- High traffic. It fails.

- User reloads the page. It fails.

- "We're being hit by malicious requests that don't attempt to file comments!"

Yeah, today after I watched the video, I went to the domain, clicked the button to express, saw the form fields, and decided I'd come back to it after work.

I'm probably not the only one who dropped-off after seeing all the form fields.
