It creates validity because someone i.e. the owner of a store could create multiple accounts to falsely inflate the reviews of their company

That small amount of karma on Reddit could mean that the account was just created to give a positive review

And if you never heard that artist’s name and had no idea who it was, there’s no way anyone could see that name in a random link sent to an anonymous message board

If I asked the question you asked and someone responded with a link to the artists storefront? I would have responded and said, "cool, thanks!" and it would have been the most boring reddit exchange on the planet.

Take the L man. Seriously. It's ok. Reddit is anonymous. You can still go out in public without people knowing you might be the dumbest person alive.

It was a link to a store, that was the only response

It could’ve said “the artist is THIS and this is the Store”

A person sending a link to a store could’ve been anything, it could be a bot trying to steal that person’s work from the actual artist.

When a completely anonymous, random thing on the internet sends you to a site to buy something, do you always do it without question?
