I think you should have some "about us" section on your webpage if you want people to give their email addresses. I already get loads of spam that knows my email address belongs to someone with a PhD (though they are often shaky on the details). I looked at your site and there's no information about who is doing it and why.

That's fair, though there's not much to say since I'm building it out myself as a benefit corporation. I also have strict opt-out for any communications and a proper privacy policy.

I've also tried to keep as much as I can accessible without login, but I want to protect some of the more expensive features from being spammed.
