Gotchas

The free post is nofollow and they say so under the button. The $5 one-off is what buys the dofollow, the instant publish and a week on the home page.
The paid button sits above the free one and is the one styled as the primary action, so it is easy to press by accident.
Signing in leaves you on a "choose username" screen that blocks every other page until you set one, and it prefills a generated name like yourname_6945.
It is a link feed rather than a directory, so your entry ages down the front page rather than sitting on a category page forever.
