My point was that adding another optional field asking for DOB is just as “scary” as the optional fields asking for real name and location. It doesn’t need them, which was what the other user was alluding to.
ETA: I’m using “scary” but I realize it’s being demonized in a number of ways, such as “evil” or “giving an inch” or “giving into pressure” or “eroding privacy”, etc.
