Sure, they might not accumulate karma BY shilling for brands, but they might start shilling for brands or ideologies after they accumulate said karma. Or selling their farmed accounts to those who do.

I've been active here for over a decade. If I did that so I could start shilling for brands in my 40s, that'd be a hell of a long con. Also, I pointed out that it's useful to check users' histories. A few seconds with my comment history would reveal that I'm more of a grump than a shill.
