Meh. It’s to prevent bots and spam also.
Bots can create accounts too. If it indeed was to prevent bots, they would just ask for a captcha test to continue browsing
Not sure how forced account creation would help with either of those. Both are only problems when they already have accounts.
Because in order to get an account, you have to pass tests designed to tell if you’re a bot.
If this sort of thing only popped up when posting comments, then sure. If it’s to VIEW the damn site, that will only affect actual people.
Except the act of viewing the site is ingesting data.
