[Essay writing job at academia-research]
One of the reasons that several writers I know stopped writing for a site called Associated Content is that they introduced a section of their site where they were encouraging their writers to upload the text of some of their school essays and term papers. While it was not exactly like saying "come copy my work" the fact that anybody could grab it and use it as their own did not set well with some writers. That action (and the seemingly lower pay AC was offering with each submission) led to some folks distancing themselves from AC.
I don't know if they still have that section on their website or not. Hopefully, it did not take off well for them and they have since discarded the idea.
