I believe that social media content should be accessible for everyone. Signup should not be required to read or see it. No walls. People make it and offer it for free, and the platform should respect that.

A platform should not force people to create an account to read other people's free content. People are the content owner, not the platform.

It is respectful to ask people first if they would like to receive emails more than spamming them with lots of and confuse them later with tons of subscription options.
