Yeah, probably.
I like Elsie. Shes nice, sweet, never uses bots, never has taken a trending spot from anyone, works hard and i find her content chill and relaxing.
Not worth 8$? I think its worth 8$. I wouldnt claim its worth a 100$ but 8$... id say 8$ is pretty fair.
She averages around 5$ which gets her 2$ a post as the author.

How you thought that someone getting a few dollars per post was a good example or equivalent to someone voting themselves up to top of the trending page, or buying up a bunch of votes... is beyond me.
