I'm wondering why they're getting more and more adamant that people register an account, even though a lot of people don't care about having an online persona outside of Facebook and wouldn't ever contribute anything to the platform.

I honestly believe that could do much better by providing a good experience to people that just want to stay up-to-date and follow a few people that they find interesting.

Gotta pump up those numbers. Can't show growth without people signing up for accounts.

At least two core products of the biggest advertisement company in the world have no problem providing you value and generating ad-revenue without you having to be logged in. Google and YouTube would be nowhere near the success they are if they'd force you to log in.
