The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That's not really a huge limitation when you consider what Reddit's primary demographics are.
There are very few B2B deals being worked out on Reddit at the moment, but there's massive amounts of consumer decisions made on any given day, all of which are aided by the discourses taking place on Reddit.
People who are qualified to participate in large-scale B2B aren't getting buying tips from industry communities on Reddit. People who are just entering that grouping, or are in over their head, or are hobbyists looking to go pro ... that's who is taking buying tips from random community discourse or asking for help picking what X to buy. The people who do not have the experience to screen the "confident-sounding but wrong" answers are effectively the only ones who are asking for that sort of help.
I don't think this angle even needs to use language models or AI - just exchange current hobbyist mods and/or key contributors with influencers selected by the campaign relevant to that community. If you have already driven off the hobbyists who might check their inputs, then they have free space to seed responses and sculpt impressions.
The other key factor is that in many cases, you aren't necessarily facing questions about "right" or "wrong" per se - but matters of highly subjective opinion. If your selected influencers are recommending your hardware that's not technically that much better or worse, but isn't a proven brand or is marginally better - the average consumer taken in by the astroturf is never really going to see a cost associated in a meaningful way.
