IMO Contributor is still pretty new, and without users the time and effort spent implementing it probably isn't worth it yet, especially because many of those running adblockers just ignore it entirely (I can't even count the number of times I've read "why pay for contributor when adblockers are free?).

If/when it hits a critical mass of users, suddenly it will become a lot easier to justify the cost of implementation.

Hopefully tools like this can help get some sites to implement contributor or something like it so paying for access can get a foothold and become a viable option.
