I would be comfortable buying leads for contract work etc. because there is a $ to $ cost/benefit analysis with direct comparables to cold-calling/emailing. Paying to "Find a job you love" for full-time sounds a bit weird and if a service like that popped up in an ad then I would be pretty skeptical.
Being a picky developer is a luxury afforded to people who already get spammed with recruiter quotas. DHH sometimes shares his spam and it's pretty hilarious. Now you are in a position to ask that person to go get more and pay you for the service?
That's a fair point. I would argue that recruiters don't qualify as "finding a job your love", rather they try to find an "employee you love" for a company. But the feeling is definitely valid.

A legendary salesman was once told: "You could sell pine cones, and people would buy all of your pine cones..."
It might be a tough sell to some skeptics, but there is always room for more.
