At the moment, I have two stories up on AnthologyBuilder, and I will probably add more.
What's the attraction for readers? I'll let Nancy Fulda, whose brainchild this is, explain it in her own words. You may or may not see it that way, but other readers obviously do. People are buying books from this website, and the word is spreading. Yes, the selection's small, but AnthologyBuilder has only been operational for a couple of months. New fiction is added daily.
What's the attraction for writers? As Mary Robinette Kowal pointed out over at Speculations, it's found money. There is absolutely nothing for a writer to lose in this arrangement. Even if no one ever buys your story, you're still not out anything. You can pull your work from the website at any time, for any reason. Anything you make is gravy.
To those writers who are saying they want to wait--why on Earth would you want to do that? As I said earlier, more fiction is added to AnthologyBuilder daily. Get your stuff out there now, while the numbers are still relatively small, giving you a better chance to get your fiction noticed.

Or don't. More room for me, then. :-)
