It depends on what you mean by quality.
By my logic, it will inevitably lead to lower social media quality.
Charging for posts means that every post is in fact an ad.
People generally don't like ads.

I guess it depends on the audience. For example, I run a literary magazine and something that has been noted in publishing forums is that when you charge a reading fee to consider a submission, it can cut down on the number of people shotgunning completely inapposite submissions to any magazine or journal with a free open call.
But that's a targeted audience, people who like contemporary literature.
If they're thinking "Twitter but you have to pay per post" ... I could unfortunately see a race to the bottom where most paid posts are ads or thinly-veiled ads.
