Why Does Voices Dot Com Require Payment?

I admit that I'm still pretty new on [voices.com](https://voices.com), but I just don't understand why they require you to pay, (and on top of that, pay so ***much****)* just to have access to the jobs posted on there. It doesn't make sense! And that's just...

Do you stay friends with people that have "left acting" ?
