This is not better from a business 101 perspective. You've just traded the ability to communicate with some of your users without requiring their e-mail.
- ldjb 10y agoIt depends on the business/service. In some cases it's a good idea to give the user a taster of what they can do with the service before making them sign up. You know what I do when I come across a service that forces me to sign up before I can see if it's any good? I hit the back button.
- koliber 10y agoYou are not the only one! The taster can be in the form of a descriptive home page, landing page, or article. It could also be in the form of a completely friction-less trial that does not ask for any user info. The latter are rare. It's up to the user to decide if they should invest their time in trying out the product based on whatever taster the website offers.
