A word of warning: you’ll have to browse or crawl these pages periodically at minimum.
Best case would be to diff the latest page with various IPs and user-agents against the known and then let you know when it changes.
Someone will inevitably submit a page that looks good, then changes later or dynamically depending on datetime, user-agent, request IP, etc. to become malicious.
Unfortunately, these are the sorts of problems that many companies have to deal with automatically (like Google) or manually that startups don’t typically.
While you’re charging, if someone can get by with paying $1 for installing ransomware, they may do it.
It’s a neat idea, but it’s risky. I like what you’ve done, though, and hope the artisanal webpage index pays for itself and more quickly.

Since he's charging to be on the list, there a very low chance that he'll get flooded with bots from China, India, and Russia pushing low-quality web sites. someone can get by with paying $1 for installing ransomware, they may do it. Or some ransomware company may take over an abandoned domain that' s linked from his page. Or some ransomware company may buy one of the sites. Or some ransomware company... Nevermind. Just don't build anything ever anywhere, because of edge cases.
