I think this is just a conspiracy theory. What's happening is that capitalism sets ridiculous incentives, so people are compelled to set up all these blogs and create these memes to maybe get fractions of cents per interaction. The real scandal is not that the Russians or the Chinese are attacking democracy this way, it is that we are waisting so much productivity on this (both users, and people working on such campaigns). PS: If the described tactic really works, I gotta try it out in order to take over the world.
