I've been on forums since 2010 or earlier, and it's never crossed my mind that someone would write for me.
I once received an offer via PM to have someone else write posts for me, which seemed completely stupid to me, but then I realized that those who manage multiple accounts really benefit from those who offer such services. For some, a forum is simply a place for debate and discussion, for others it's just work and nothing more.
Funny story: Few days before adding the merit system, i introduced the forum to a friend of mine who was interested in crypto trading and to encourage him join the community i explained how he can earning money by joining a signature campaign in the altcoin boards Bounties because low rank members are often accepted starting from Junior membership. I remember he started posting as a fresh brand account then few days later the merit system was implemented and my friend noticed that he can't rank up because he can't make quality posts. So he thought about hiring someone to write quality posts in English so he contacted an english teacher to write posts for him. The problem was that the teacher has no interest in cryptocurrencies and know nothing about it so he started learning about crypto to be able to write posts to sell them to my friend. After few days the teacher learned about trading and started investing and forgot about selling posts for tiny amounts. After then, my friend forgot about joining the forum and stop trading after got scammed by unknown profile in telegram and the teacher became a successful trader Lol
