no ties to my other accounts would be ideal from my perspective

i understand that it’s easier to get a stronger “trust” signal by being more invasive

but hopefully the product will be so valuable that users will value their accounts as assets (like on hn) that they won’t want to compromise with bad behavior

The problem is authors will sign up for fake accounts to vote for their own books, so having an email with each account is a big trust factor that helps us a bit.

I'll think on it :)

maybe an account has to build up cred or investment to be more trusted like on hn
