Hi, OP here. Perhaps "minimal barriers" would have been more accurate. One of the problems we want to solve is the proliferation of bot traffic on job sites. Requiring a Google login is the simplest way to achieve this for the time being.
- eps 11mo agoNo everyone has a Google account. You'd think it'd be a pretty damn obvious factoid.
- pippy360 11mo agoSorry to pile on but, the google sign on also turned me away. I have a google account and usually use it to sign up for sites I'm interested in but when it's used to gate content that could be accessible without a login I just feel like my data is being harvested. If you really want to keep the login then maybe a message like we won't spam email you unless asked and only want your to log in to protect against bots would help.
- tompccs 11mo agoOP here. Appreciate the honesty. I actually agree - I think the same way and I'm realising now that we don't do a good enough job of communicating the need to the user. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
