Yes, because slop is normal.
From where I'm sitting the majority of tweets, fb posts, mass media articles and broadcasts, youtube videos, tiktok shorts, reddit posts... have always been slop, also before autocorrect made Sam rich.

This resonates. I'm finding it takes me a little longer to identify llm-produced slop than rando-insane-internet person slop. I need to squint more, I guess.

Does the source matter though? I'm not going to give people medals for writing their own slop.
The benefit of pay-to-post is that it attracts people that don't just post slop, but actually put in some thought and/or work. I'd say it causes selection more than it causes encouragement.

perhaps this is the point: a pay-to-post forum selects for people who take their time seriously.
