No, they tried that already and it turned out that they alienated all of their mobile app users for basically a one time check from Google. Now they are on to alienating a bunch future users who might have created an account after finding some useful information on reddit.
I almost want to go get an MBA just so I can write a case study on why spez is a fucking clown
google also started limiting the amount of accounts you can make with a device now. so it hurts reddit too, because people originally use google email, because its more "Trusted" from being seen as a non-bot.
