I find it difficult to understand how the conflict of interest *matters*[1]. As everyone knows, WP is full of crap. Not 100%, but some high proportion. The existence of crap has never bothered us before, and there's every reason to believe that paid, COI edits would still be an improvement, especially if they involve creating new articles.
These days we have approaching 2 million articles, creating new ones is not an unequivocal good - the majority of new articles are currently, by my reckoning, vanity crap.
