Doesn't this go against their entire brand image of being on the side of users?
The whole point of the site, according to Userbenchmark, is that it allows the masses to test their hardware in ways that are "more objective" because their numbers are not biased. Userbenchmark claims that third party reviewers are often bought-and-paid-for marketers for products.
So putting up a paywall that prevents users from running their benchmark tool seems to go against their self stated "mission" of providing "more reliable data" by gathering it from a large number of individuals. Which means that the site has now gone against their own brand.
Making a decision that flies in the face of established brand image is particularly egregious. I might even go so far as to call it a "Neanderthal marketing" move.

Sadly, I think there will still be unsavvy enough newbies out there who'll pay for it either by stumbling upon it or goaded by friend/family/paid(or dumb) influencer.
Then comes to this forum screaming bottleneck.
Bright side : We'll get less bottleneck scream based on userbenchmark result since not all wants to pay.
