The site doesn't seem to understand what anonymously means: "Continue with Google"?

What's the point of having a barrier of creating a throwaway email to post a story?

You are right. I apologize for the confusing experience. My only reason to sign-up was to prevent spam. Based on this feedback, I will make it optional.
