Yes, but, it also lets them slurp up email addresses. Routing users is legit tho.

This reminds me of another annoying one, often related to these routing pages.

I type in my email, then it routes to "create an account". Or WORSE it mimmicks the thing the OP is complaining aboit and says it sent me a verification email, then prompts me to make an account.

Like fucker, I have a dozen+ email addresses, if my email isn't an account, just tell me so I can try a different one.
