The differences are rather stark.
The ones you're not paying turn up because they have some specific thing to say that they think will be interesting (e.g., about the relationship between religion and rationality). They behave more or less like typical Less Wrong participants.
The ones you're paying turn up to gush in the comments to your articles about how wonderful the articles are, and how great Intentional Insights is, and how excited they are to be growing in rationality (without any specifics about what they've actually learned and how it's helping them). They behave more or less like typical blog comment spammers.
Additionally, the individuals who suspect Gleb of manipulating upvotes to try to be taken more seriously all just updated.
I defended a post as not representing Less Wrong because it was massively downvoted, demonstrating the community attitude towards the post. The reciprocal - that upvotes equate to community support - clearly doesn't hold, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and point.
