Have you seen the Imzy submission [1]? People have argued that they failed because there was no content on their front page. Why have who chosen to require logins?
>1. No front page (for lurkers): They force users to join to be able to view content. The 90/9/1 rule is real, ESPECIALLY in the "community" space. 90% of users just want to lurk and that's just the nature of the internet. It's probably the same here on HN. 9% will participate in some ways, voting, etc. 1% will submit and comment, etc.

- lyra_comms 9y agoThis is a very valid point. We are considering adding an option to view conversations without login, but we feel that this should not be the default behaviour (there is an expectation of privacy) but would only be used were it the default.
- lyra_comms 9y agoPoor Imzy! We could do great things with $11 million
- lyra_comms 9y agoWe just added a large "view example conversation" button on the landing page which doesn't require login :)
