"So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming..."

Are there many individual users who participate in these type of activities?

My understanding is that a lot of it is automated: farming with the intent to make accounts look legitimate and eventually manipulate public opinion to whatever ends (like selling a product/service).

Is kbin doing anything different that would curb or dissuade such behavior?

Yeah, but the ROI here is way less since the users are more savvy initially. Eventually it'll homogenize out and you'll get auto bots.
