I'd say it also turns off people who have expertise in other areas and would chime if there wasn’t so many hurdles.

Say an astrophysicist wants to connect with the community. Do you think they want to take time out of their day to learn the intricacies of a tool that otherwise has no use to them? Do you think they should have to?

This will inevitably keep this community gated from having a diverse userbase that Reddit has had at its peak.
