I have had to install a password-manager as every job-search engine, many text-based story sites, etc., all want me to create an account with a username and password. I have over 50 separate accounts.
It IS annoying, but it is like television. Many of these websites are free, but the owners make money on the advertising (called "impressions"). But the unique visitor count is something they have to provide each month to the advertisers to prove thousands of different people saw the ad.
It IS annoying to have so many signups - but running a website that is 'free' to you and me means someone is paying for something somewhere.
I dont like it, but I do understand it.
