Don't force users to add a profile pic at sign up. Use whether they add a pfp later a signal as to whether they care enough about their app identity to add one.

@nikitabier has made a counter point which I’ve come to appreciate which is that adding friction in onboarding is not always a bad thing. 

If it helps meaningfully with retention and engagement, it’s often worth doing. 

For us, requiring pfp only causes a 0.1% dropoff but makes real profiles look more legit and spammer easy to identify
