Oh it's not something new, many larger subreddits require year+ old accounts, so farms have people create accounts for years now, get a little karma, let it sit for awhile then resell it.

Next presidential campaign is going to be brutal to reddit spam/noise filters, I hope they are ready somehow.

It seems unlikely. It's more likely they'll find a way to use the noise as a revenue source of some sort.
