Suspected fake subscribers

I have three self hosted Ghost instances (sweatyspice.com, thepmdude.com, and prodbistro.com) and over the last month or so, I am seeing a flood of new subscribers that I think are fake.

I have done some looking up of their domains, and it seems that there is a flood of people who work at different logistics companies (trucking and hauling) that are subscribing to my politics shit-posting site.

Is this a thing? They are all distinct, valid emails and domains, but they feel scammy.

Or maybe I am just attracting a bad group of people.

Editing to add: Their geolocation makes no sense. I got one that is at gaylordhotels.com (the Gaylord hotel and conference center in DC) but the person was in Germany.

Please have a look at that topic: Observations about spam signups
