Sure, my point is not “don't complain”, but “the current HN usage of CAPTCHA neither compels you to use it without consent, nor proposes that you train Google’s AI for free”.
That is, it is about the specific content of the complaint, not a meta-level commentary on the appropriateness of complaining about practices you disapprove of.
