This question reminds me of the time of the Steemit Trails where you must give part of your SP to be voted in the posts, I think that was a way to pay for the posts to receive votes that in the end did not pay much because everyone had a low voting power; I think it is still used now in Hive, but not all communities use it, at least I think it is not mandatory to be part of a trail.
I think that would be the way to pay to receive another benefit in Hive, but I don't know if I would be willing to participate now, maybe in the future.
I was talking about actual services, you like marking designs for someone or even buying goods. There's the #hivelist community but not many people use it.
But as for what you talked about...
The vote bots are frowned upon on Hive, but there are services that allow you to pay to get votes like @dustsweeper which doesn't give you any profit but prevents your loss from low-payout posts, and ecency.com in which you special points to pay, (not Hive) and @ecency's curator has the right to curate your post or not depending on their own criteria.
