I agree, I jumped-in to use it, and before I have an idea of value I am asked to login.

However, to me, the real blocker was when I clicked login with Google, it says it was going to provide my age range. Why? What do you want to do with that?

We take name and email and userid, in a really non-malicious attempt to create your future profile. You will be able to opt-out according to GDPR, soon.

That doesn’t quite answer his question. Why is the age range mandatory to create an account via Google? The basic permissions — notably the ID for each user Google will hand back to you — should be sufficient for that purpose.

Is filling out whatever is in the profile really a source of friction?
