For example, if it’s a restaurant, you might see a lot of reviews complaining about slow service.

That’s precisely the kind of negative review the article says is bought and paid for. Apparently, payment for negative reviews is most common for hotels and restaurants. If there are 2 vegan restaurants near a college or a tourist site, one might pay people to write negative reviews about the other.
