It will die a slow death as the content creators and news organizations leave it.

It won't happen overnight. But removing Block and requiring IDs will help speed that along.

Oh man I just had a thought. If they require an ID for auth, someone at the news agency has to validate their ID. If that person gets fired, and decides to use their ID to validate ownership and change the password on the account, malicious activity ensues.

They’re requiring ID to sign up?

Damn, I hope that’s true.

No, it's for a blue check.
