While not going to go digging for any, it seems a tad naive to assume that there will not be any unnatural/paid posting on a platform this open and easy access. You should practice good information hygiene either way.
I'm not assuming there is 0 I'm saying I don't think it's a huge issue here and would like to see an example of what they consider paid posting.
On reddit for example I would see astroturfing on the front page almost every day.
Personally the recent sharp and sudden increase in Tankies is likely a symptom or an expression of it. While that could be a knock on effect from astro turfing elsewhere, see my last comment lol
