I don't get it. Is it a metaphor or analogy of some sort? From my experience, analogies usually are a mechanism of manipulation, trying to drag in some arguments which bare facts cannot support.

The author is making a point, by analogy, that consumers make purchase decisions based on a relative ranking of company behaviors and reputation. This is why PR firms exist. Consider what might happen if 'someone' produced a popular documentary on the psychological trauma that YT or FB moderators endure. (If such a documentary already exists I'm sure it will be posted here)
