An unintended side-effect: readers without credit/debit cards may find it harder to join the site. This disproportionately affects younger people, a demographic that may be more open to LW ideas.
Another unintended side-effect is that it may increase phyg pattern-matching. Now new recruits have to pay to join the site, and surely that money is being secretly funneled into EY's bank account.
That said, I think that on balance this is a good policy proposal. I also think that the similar proposal using phone verification is plausible, and doesn't run into the above two problems.
Heck, there's no pattern-matching about it. It will increase phyg.
No, it pattern matches Metafilter, like the top post said. Also SomethingAwful.
I never said anything about what it pattern-matches to.
