Your questions are rhetorical questions you can surely answer yourself.
Leechers are not interested in the community. They don't get the same dopamine rush you get when you receive a like. Most of them do not care about quality but quantity. They want to get to what interests them, such as accounts, porn, and other kinds of content while spending as little as possible. It's one of the purposes forums like Cracked exist, and it's inherently the reason for its success.
But don't make the mistake of thinking that the rest of the forum works differently. Most people you call high quality or contributors are teens with no skill whatsoever, taking free resources from other sites and reposting them for likes and attention. This is how both leaks sections and the marketplace work; it's how new leechers and new customers sign up to the site.
It's a broken system that promotes bullshit content, but it brings so much traffic to the site, which translates to budget (money, if you aren't aware of the meme) for everyone. Sellers make money selling low-quality products that customers don't know how to get otherwise, and people at the top make money thanks to upgrades, credits, ads, and passively running the site.
