Akismet:

• routinely being (anti-)helpfully used by blackhat SEO to dump competitors,
• that is inherently retroactive, i.e. doomed to always lag behind the newly invented spamming techniques and approaches,
• dumping legit users web resource owners never see
• is illegal for use in Germany and other EU countries,
• etc.
