I think this would be great to limit this. I really don't understand people wanting to comment right away. I just lurked for like a month to get a feel before I decided to participate.

I don't know. Only reason I create an account is to comment and post. Why otherwise have one?

to subscribe and get a curated list of what you want to look at. I can't imagine lurking without subscriptions to what im interested in.

A brand new account doesn't necessarily mean the user hasn't been lurking for a while. I lurked on Reddit without an account for years before creating an account there, and during the Reddit drama last year, I lurked here and a few other places, but didn't create an account anywhere until I actually wanted to participate.

I bet you will make one a day sooner if you know you won't be able to post for day.
