There were multiple attempts to gatekeep a nice community with a payment, but the majority of people today don't want to pay for anything. The only huge exception is Suicide Girls.

And it's the same everywhere! Lemmings like to talk about "enshitifications" and other bullshit, but the reality is that everyone is fine with slave labour and damage to the environment when jeans from Primark cost £15, but jeans from Hebtroco, made in the UK from UK garments and paying decent wages are £150+.

Cheap/free is the enemy of good.
