Have to provide a number just to try someone else's app, hard pass.

Thx for the feedback - didnt have a chance to implement email otps (will start that now!) and even less didn’t want to figure out sign in with google/apple
Why do I need to sign in at all to view ?
unfortunately we've already been targeted by a small scale DOS attack (or wallet attack?), and account creation on our most expensive model was the only way we could solve the problem for now :/
I've worked in the anti-bot space for a while. Friction to real users is a huge cost. I strongly recommend a better solution.
We need an AI app that generates and manages throwaway sign-ups with a single click so we can use AI apps that generate mobile apps.
Wouldn't adding either of those be quite straightforward leaning on AI?
