You're deeply confused if you think SA is/was not essentially defined by some of the most capriciously cruel people online. The founder just shot himself after leaving behind a wrecked family with multiple ex-wives, abandoned children, and DV convictions. FYAD, Helldump, etc. really define the spirit of SA, and it's also a precise counterexample to your argument about paywalls being a good thing.

Metafilter (used to?) charge $5 in the same vein.

That Lowtax was a piece of shit says nothing about his effectiveness in separating assholes from their money. The system works.
