and they get the paid product for nothing in return.

Ding! So, to answer @Mordikan@kbin.earth 's question, yes....the beta tester is being paid. This is how beta testing works.

Self-Hosted isn't a job board, though. If you're going to post job listings, there are better places to do that.

Do c/selfhosted members run the *arr stack? Yes, probably the vast majority of them.
Does OP have a product that integrates with the *arr stack? Yes.
Is OP asking you to buy his product. No. He's asking you, if you are interested, to beta test a product, and in the end your reward is to keep the product you helped beta test.

This is not an outlandish or usual scenario.
