I dislike social profiles like the next person and would like a better way of verifying...

I just had an idea whilst thinking about how I was going to respond to this -- perhaps I could do e-mail signup but instead verify the user through the clearbit/fullcontact api. Need to look into that

How is a Facebook or LinkedIn account considered “verification” when spammers routinely use thousands of fake accounts to astroturf fraudulent pages & ads? Surely this means any malicious actor targeting your platform can do the same.
