While this is common, I can guarantee you that everyone who defends Blizzard repetitively in the TL SC2 forums are not contracted employees of the corporation. Some people are simply blindly optimistic.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Blizzard products are great! I love all them. I was thrilled to purchase Mists of Panderia, an action-panda adventure-themed game filled with excellence. Another example of their can't miss spirit will be the release of Heart of the Swarm, a top-notch thrillride strategy-player which will come at the low, low price of 40 USD. Right forum buddies?
Only want to see you /dancing in the PurpleRain.

Well, that's certainly part of the story... but I'm sure there's many legitimate posters that express similar (apologetic) opinions. It's sad that manipulation like this takes place, but I think that for the majority of the time it falls within the boundaries of legitimately expressed opinions, so the only real effect is a slightly altered impression of community consensus. I don't think that influences player retention as much as expanding the player base, so it's still in a game's best interest to address the issues the community presents if it wants to preserve long-term player numbers.

The "Like" or "+1" button is the reason this kind of exploitation is possible.

40 per month per forum account.

Yeah, this does happen. But, it's pretty safe to say it's not happening SC2 on here, or on /r/starcraft for that matter.

Maybe it's more prevalent than I think, but it seemed to be pretty rampant with Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR. Both those launches had batshit insane fanboys everywhere on forums.

Actually I'm almost dead certain it's happening here. Loads of low post-count posters (sub 500 posts) trying to claim that a 2 and a half year old game is still going through teething issues, and then worshipping every new patch as if it's a magic bullet--and that's when they're not claiming HOTS (read: 60$ to blizzard) will make everything better.

I like how people calmly try to explain that the existance of "social image consulting" and the existance of Blizz defenders does actually not (gasp!!) equal that Blizz pays people to post on TL. You're giving the troll OP way too much credit....

The samsung guy was a much more likely example than Blizzard fanboys to be honest, if that one wasn't getting paid for it, he definatelly should.

Some (a lot) of people just like to defend things they like over the internet, and as any argument over the internet, what they say doesn't really have to make sense. But it's the same for the other side, it's not hard to find unfounded hate as easily as unreasonable love in the internet. Sure, some may actually be fake posters, but if this starts getting more attention, I just hope it won't become another insult thrown around blindly just because someone disagrees with you, like "trolling".
