Captchas are a way to force the malicious subscriber to spend human or
computer time breaking it (if captchas can be broken).

As a consequence, it might make sense to just accept it is the case and
require a javascript-generated proof of work before accepting the
subscription.

This way the amount of computer time required can be more easily
modulated, and the human is not faced with a hard-to-answer captcha -- I
don't know how you feel, but as a user I'd much rather have my computer
spin for a few tens of seconds before sending the form (especially as it
can happen at the same time as I fill it) than have to fill in a
captcha.
