Since people can write anything there with zero fact checking its a
bit hard to see why you would want to use it as a source so much.

The site is no different from someone's personal blog. I for one would
not be happy to encourage people to drop £1000 for a blog post but
perhaps you are.

Having dealt with some interesting BLP subjects over the years not
really. Now if someone were to start say the journal of BLP [[Citation
Needed]] with at least a nominal review process that would be a far
better approach and would have the advantage of not looking to sting
people for £1000.
