What makes you think this doesn't happen? I can almost guarantee it does. If I were willing to pay a Reddit mod off and I saw unfavorable coverage for my brand I'd absolutely try to win the mod over by paying them more than the competitor is paying.
What's kind of crazy about this is in many lines of business you must disclose payment for advertisement. Be interesting to make this a civil law case and sue moderators for lack of disclosure.
