Hardly a new thing, ad companies hiring people to post positive opinions about their products on internet forums has been a thing for as long as internet forums have existed. In the age of AI bots this feels almost "old school". On reddit specifically, companies buying "reputable" (high-karma) accounts off of people in order to shill has bern a thing for years. If you search for "reddit account buy" you'll get thousands of shady websites (like this one that was the 1st result on my searxng https://www.g2g.com/categories/reddit-accounts). I haven't heard of bribing people on reddit specifically but it's been a thing with e.g. youtube reviewers for ages.
