There are already some sites where you're much better off if you have an old account. Like I have a super old Twitter sitting there for random stuff that requires it. I tried making a new one a few years ago, didn't post anything, and it got banned within 2 days for "bot activity." The old one has never been banned.
It was also so much easier to make a dating app profile back when I was single, like one click. Recently was watching a friend set one up, and now they not only want like 3FA but also proof that you're a human. Assuming the old accounts are grandfathered in.

Won't help much, botters can just buy old accounts.
Gets harder with all the 2FA stuff involved
Infinite new accounts vs finite old accounts for sale. Low effort vs high effort. It would help.
