I think it is a bit obvious:
- adding friction to account creation intentionally does not help people
- what is this supposed to do? “screen” people? how can you verify that (if this is meant to reduce spam)?

Both your points are wrong. 😑
This does not replace the typical onboarding experience.
It’s the complete opposite, if fast forwards a new user to post account creation. They can edit their profile and make it theirs if they like the content.
And no, it does not screen for anything.
