At least some FAs do get paid for signups; I was talking with a group on one trip who explained that they rotate per flight which FA gets the credits for that segment (and has to make the announcement).

And, FWIW, many airlines also pay commission to FAs on duty free sales. Helps to build a more customer-friendly environment.

I wonder if they, like bloggers, are forbidden to discuss compensation for conversions.

Why don't you ask one? You beat the subject to death here about blogger compensation without an answer

Glad you have moved on to a different thought

I feel like the question of blogger compensation was asked and answered!

So, yeah, I'm curious if terminal hustlers get compensated the same way bloggers do. And I may well ask next time I see one since no one here seems to have the answer.
