For a lot of folks, songwriting is a hobby. I'm sure most all of us would like to have a star record our song and it be heard by millions of people. There probably isn't anyone in here for whom that will happen unless they move to Nashville. Lots of hobbyists spend lots of money on all sorts of stuff--that's why they celebrities get rich off endorsements. Nothing wrong with paid critiques.

Pay me $15 and I'll critique your song. Pay me $25 and I'll tell you whatever you want to hear. That's because I don't know what will be a hit. I once said "that boy won't ever amount to anything." That boy was named Randy Ray. The first song he released as a single bombed but a year later it was released a second time and wound up being the CMA Song Of The Year.
