Best way to avoid traffic to your site, then complain about revenue loss from advertisements.
Perhaps. But a rather large issue arises when your content is generated primarily by users who wouldn't want to pay for a service.
There is also the issue where if you are having to pay to get around interaction limits is it really free speech? Or just limited to those that can afford to pay?
Imagine using Twitter to train AI. "Why is my AI such an asshole!?"
I'd argue it's a poisoned dataset. You can't validly train an AI based on content that contains a non-trivial percentage of bot-generated content.
