I think you're right. The cost of brigading a reddit thread ten million people will see is cheaper than running a TV ad, and businesses and governments have started to realize this

Do we have any safeguard to try and prevent that from happening here?

Yes, we don't have downvotes, so things can't be censored and votes can't be un-done. So they can't hide the complaints and such.

But it's one of the problems inherent in anonymous social media. There's no way to know what anyone's intentions are until they post.
