Question: How is this website viable? Is it really as simple as a stupid custom captcha and basic php where you're careful with file permissions, htmlspecialchars, etc. ? Or is there hidden wizardry?

    You mean there are not enough visitors to interest attackers? What kind of protection would you have to set up? I'm interested because I'm setting up a blog with (moderated) comments for someone and I'm very afraid of security/AI issues...

    yeah probably, attackers tend to not target individual sites, instead writing bots that target common frameworks/products, because they can write once and reach millions of sites. if you make something unique, nobody would bother. and when they do, you can respond by improving it...
