Was wondering if anyone else has seen this type of activity on any of the projects they have worked on, and/or know what is going on.
My friends and I have a small community site for content creators to discuss news (think of it like hn but for content creators specifically)[0].
Recently, I have seen a ton of accounts being registered with our email and pw option (the only option). This was very strange considering we are a really small community, and most of our registrations are high quality people at a slow rate through word of mouth. After looking into it, I noticed that all the accounts had usernames like "jDwJeVTQEaP" with a variety of @gmail and @yahoo email's associated to them. There have been 100s of them registered over the course of a week.
These accounts have no activity, mostly because they cannot log in due to needing to be verified via email first. So these accounts are pretty much just shells.
So I am trying to understand what the point of all this is for the account creation spammer? What would you do in my situation to mitigate this?

It got me wondering - is it possible to work at a DAO full-time and make a comparable living wage to a full time salaried employee? If so, it seems like something interested to try.
Have you worked for a DAO?
What was your experience like?
Did you make a living wage comparable to other roles you had in tech (assuming 40h work week)?
Does your traffic slow down during the summer? Or better yet, do seasons change the amount of traffic your site gets?
I am most interested in those who host projects that aren't affected by industry (IE. obviously if produce you produce tax tools you would see an influx during that time.)
Are there any suggested material that can get me started on learning about how to think about scaling and project starting?
