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.

Yes! This is why I think it'll stay niche.
But niche is awesome imho: I've spent my best time on the interwebs in niche places.
