I signed up this afternoon mostly to protect my blog's branding (as I did with Twitter years ago).

If it doesn't allow public viewing without registration, Parler will die sooner than later.

It hasn’t stopped the current growth though so maybe the owner isn’t concerned.

He did say in response to Trump campaign manager that they will eventually be public..

I think once they improve it and fix these issues Trump will join.

Yep, this is a deal breaker for many, if not most. I don't want to post. I don't want an account. I have no interest in giving them my phone number or email any more than I would give it to Twitter or Facebook. If I have to sign up for an account just to see a post, no thanks. @john needs to understand that people will be MORE likely to sign up to comment on things they look around the site and see the content.

On the flip side, people who want to use social media to reach their audience are not going to waste their time on a platform with only a few million users capable of seeing their posts. This policy limits them to remaining a small time platform.
