In theory, people post for free because of the publicity that curators help push them to. So it is not a crazy idea because it actually works since it's how currrent social media works. But just like paying you to post is spammy paying someone to upvote is also spammy. The practice is what makes it difficult.
Getting paid to post isn't spammy. It's no different than getting paid to write and publish books, or produce movies. It's the same business model except this time around the writers and artists aren't required to sellout because the consumer leaves with more money in their pocket than they had before enjoying the content. This is supposed to be revolutionary. Instead we have greed attempting to protect the old business model and their profits while the consumers pay more and more.
