<p dir="auto">Besides the fact that the sign up process is super simple, and if anything it is easier to sign up directly instead of using a third party service (probably asking for the e-mail address twice wouldn't really be necessary for 3rd party logins), the actual numbers indicate that the sign up rate has steadily increased over the last 19 years with no sign of abating.</p>
<p dir="auto">I suspect the actual bone of contention is that we actually require a working e-mail address.</p>
