For reference Reddit created thousands of fake user accounts to solve the problem of "ghost town" website[1]. I created a product that relied on users creating/posting content to their accounts on the site however only a few users are brave/inquisitive/adventurous to post content on a site that's a "ghost town". So to mitigate this a company might pay interns to create an account, post content and share that content, essentially become a legitimate user of the site. The hope is that as they start to create content, post content and share it, their friends will see it and maybe want to join too. Regarding the other stuff you mentioned about the bug, if it was my site I would have investigated your bug report and if it was indeed a big bug I would have fixed it and hired you.
