>people unironically gave up their emails like it's nothing
not that 4chan has ever been some anonimity respecting place but holy fuck are you for real
flags should have been more than sufficient to solve the whatever issue they had, just don't allow to use memeflags like /pol/ and keep only tied to geographical position so a jeet needs to spend money for a VPN and a pass
besides why the fuck would biz (a blue board) be the testing ground for email verification, why not pol, v, int, b, tv, as if none of those boards are getting spammed endlessly
but the main question is, was it even worth it?
if retards stop giving up their emails maybe the change will be reverted, this is the trend so far
otherwise there's literally no reason why other boards won't have it too
