Didn't even know paid accounts are a thing at Wikipedia! Wow...

  Wikipedia is routinely manipulated to promote corporations and individuals. It's no surprise that some of the people engaged in this sort of practice are paid to work exclusively. In fact, I peronally know a case where congress promoters had among their marketing strategy creating and maintaining wikipedia pages that helped them promote their event.

  The name is rather unfortunate, even misleading - there is not a paid account in the sense "you pay Wikipedia to get perks"; rather "a third-party company pays you to edit Wikipedia in their favour".
