I don't think having the craft (wicca or anything) locked behind a filter is helpful. There was a time when that was needed (satanic panic and all) but now the world needs magical practices more than ever. Sure, there'll be some people who'll do it for the aesthetic or fling curses around without understanding but thats precisely why we need accurate and accessible information as opposed to whatevers happening on WitchTok and tumblr.
And perhaps people who start out paddling in the shallows will get deeper with learning.
Gatekeeping never helps a movement.
