I'm glad I get it.

It would provide a hurdle against people in your workplace / residence / etc reading your posts after seeing "http:babble" in your browser history, though only if they were afraid of getting caught snooping. If they felt they were entitled to know what you were doing at "http:babble", they'd register and follow you.

Most office snoops, I think, would be deterred.

But by having it open to Google for indexing, you'd still be searchable (i.e., FINDABLE) if you make any reference to your real name / location / school or unusual personal characteristics.

Thus the membership barrier could lead to a false sense of security and more regretted posts.
