Description

What problem does this address?

The “subscribe form” block is wildly misleading. The obvious expectation is that something called a “Subscribe Form” will actually subscribe someone to the blog--in other words, it will create a new user of the WP site, with the role of “subscriber.”

What is your proposed solution?

Rename this, if it's useful to some; and create an attractive block that actually subscribes someone.

Thanks,
Lance

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing “subscribe form” block and how it is currently presented. Clarify whether the work requires renaming the existing block, creating a new block that creates a WordPress subscriber, or both; done should mean the block’s name and behavior match the agreed subscription outcome.
