Would it be possible to set up guest accounts on Hive without official registration? One feature of easy access is commenting.

I often feel the need to simply react to certain content on platforms by commenting without having to register straight away. Not everyone wants to have their own account and produce content. The registration requirement is present on all major platforms and it's annoying when you really only want to comment, nothing more.

I think this possibility is underestimated.
Especially if you can comment without registering, it seems to me that in the long run it will bring new users who first get used to the platform without becoming immediate actors themselves. Since almost all forums/sites have a registration requirement nowadays, that would probably be a unique selling point again.

I suppose it would also encourage the easy sharing of content, because if non-hivers can react to content by commenting because, for example, a post was shared on fb, yt or others and they saw it and want to react to it. It could then be shared even more for this reason of easy access.

A second aspect that is probably less considered is that of unbiased commenting, when users who do not receive votes can also speak freely as guest commentators, since they receive neither rewards nor downvotes anyway.

I would find it interesting if only because it enriches publications with guests who don't look at rewards or whether they could make themselves popular or unpopular.
