This is the second time in a short time that I've seen someone comment on a thread on the first page without having read the previous comments. Does this happen a lot?
It happens a lot but there's always a point in a discussion where a post goes astray to address one issue or to supplement the topic being discussed, like in a boxing match discussion between two fighters but the topic goes astray between other fighters to supplement or verified the topic that is being discussed on the main topic

I think it's normal that if you comment on page 7 of a thread you're interested in, you should read at least the first page and the page you're going to comment on, or pages 1-2 and 6-7, because in general, when a thread gets longer nobody reads all the pages, especially if you're commenting for the first time.
I myself have commented on some topics that need correction from the previous post and my topic is not related to the main topic but it does add value to the topic

But not reading the first page, especially if the thread is only one page long is a cardinal sin.
It's important to read the main topic but if all the posts only address the main discussion without looking for other posts to correct or verify we will have all replies redundant

I'm about to send a PM to the manager so he doesn't pay him for that post.

What do you think about this?
You can send a message to the manager but let him decide based on his criteria and not your criteria
