We have a sign-up because we ensure users accept our terms of service and acceptable use policy before creating their first video, which affirms they understand how their data is used (legally required in most US states) and will not use our technology to cause harm.
Funny how other sites can do this with a birthday dropdown, an IP address, and a checkbox.

So your company would have no problem going on record saying that they will never email you for any reason, including marketing, and your email will never be shared or sold even in the event of a merger or acquisition? Because this is the problem people have with sign-up ... and the main reason most start-ups want it.
I am not necessarily for or against required sign-ups, but I do understand people that are adamantly against them.
Do you realize that this or similar technology will eventually end in every computer really soon? By building walls, you're essentially asking your potential users to go elsewhere. You should be as open as possible now that there is still room and time for competition.
This thread has opened my eyes to how many similar products exist; beyond your companies' and OP's. Was yours the first? Could the other companies make the same claim about yours? Do you make the same claim about the others?
I welcome competition, but they have made disingenuous claims about being first after having chatted with our team (in person), are using celebrity deepfakes for their advertising, and have 1-1 copied our UI down to the three panel mobile layout and autocrop button.
To be fair your UI looks much better and the layout of both these sites is so basic (not a bad thing), it should be the last thing to worry about. Better product will win so focus on that, because except for ones ego, no one else cares who's "first".
You've expressed this concern, and your comment has been upvoted. The brigade of newly registered users echoing these talking points on this topic is not necessary and undermines your point.
Interesting! Are you saying you would first want tools to really design your character, and only after start making videos with the character you built? That's interesting.
