This is a really nasty locution, enabling an unscrupulous user to make an accusation without being pinned down to facts, because it's all a matter of their feels.
Either you have evidence that someone was bribed to make a blog post, or you don't. What you claim to 'feel' is irrelevant to anyone other than your family and psychotherapist.
To make an accusation of corruption, you absolutely must have evidence. Out with it, or STFU.
The guy’s article is full of feels how Fedora is better, while if you read his own facts he had to work hard to make Fedora experience close to what Ubuntu provides out of the box. His own words about benefits of switch results in having a more fresh Gnome version and a ‘feeling that Fedora is more solid’ (no actual confirmation of that).
As to my own feelings, it’s just a result of actively participating in /r/Ubuntu and helping people with their problems for years. For quite some months I observe users coming with the same old arguments about how Amazon deal was awful, how snaps are abomination and has to be replaced with flatpaks, how everyone should switch to Fedora or Arch or PopOs, whatever. And I also regularly observe how such users are getting wiped out from reddit, because they’re bots I suppose. The last such case happened just yesterday, when the strange user with strange arguments got deleted by reddit. So, obviously, not everyone who says something negative about Ubuntu is a paid shill, but it definitely looks like a campaign of trashing Canonical and their products in media. And no, obviously, I have no proves of this, it’s just anomalies that I observe.
