Nope.
Pay for vote would be me paying premium and getting a guaranteed daily vote in return.

I pay for premium and get extra features on their site. I get more options to use when threading and blogging. My posts are more visible to their curation team but that does not get me an upvote.

As I show above I have received just three votes on my posts in the past 25 days (3/8) and i got a couple of those $1 votes on my threads that everybody is so worked up about maybe another three. Those are all from creating content and engagement, manually given and earned from my activity.

That is far from a bought vote for doing nothing or spamming the chain.

I can pay for promotion on ecency or peakd as well for a higher chance of getting noticed and voted but leo premium is actually about more features and benefits and is part of an proper business model that brings revenue into the eco-system and gives the LEO token value. An approach that every app on the chain needs to look at and stop trying to get all of their revenue from the DHF. That would make a lot more sense to me.
