Depends on what you're visiting I remember thinking 99% of the submissions to r/movies were just people/companies promoting their upcoming movies with a photo of it in the making. It proved no purpose other than to promote the film in my opinion.
Definitely, because of the 90-10-1 rule, and nobody visiting "new." So, if the 1 is the MPAA, and they pay mods or admins to sock puppet as if 10, then the 90 have to view astroturf. If people werent lazy and helped sieve through /new, then that would at least make sock puppets cost more, but since lazy sheep just look at the top, they see the astroturf.
Banksy has a good quote:
“The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative, and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”
