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.
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.
