Why don't you summarize your article(if you were the writer of it) in your thread? It's better for users to see it on the thread before opening the link. Since, there were many malicious files/links in this forum. Anyway, the article is real, these are also my reasons why I don't want KYC in Casinos. But, it is needed whenever you got a big prize.
I don't think that only in this forum but all over the internet. It's the same thing of not wanting verification for exchanges or any kind of service. At the end it's about ideology and personal philosophy.
In my case i don't think that it is the biggest verification mechanism since they buy IDs and Passport pictures of people really cheap in some sites, especially from poor countries and they bypass the verification really easily.
