"That's really expensive because it's real money"
Letting my mind go wild and wondering whether it would make sense to let visitors actually pay for the login. This could be DOGE-Coins for example. One could set up a DOGE-faucet and give back the WOWness.
Is that idea totally dumb or does it make any sense?
Would love to read your opinion.

That would be pretty swaggy, but as parent comment said, if it's cheap enough for the spammers, it would be way more annoying for your lambda user than effective against spam.
