How much are node operators paid in LINK to provide data? Because I could just bribe them to provide false info on some coin price and open a short on a certain coin,
What if node operators are bribed for false data?

They get paid if they stake more

It doesn't work that way.

you would have to bribe every/half of the node operators to provide the false information. And then everyone providing false information would lose all their staked link.

staking doesnt work yet genius
yeah theres no real penalty this is why most wise developers are building their own oracles

Or to be more precise you literally just described the oracle problem.
Isaac Price

You do not understand how chainlink works

A bribe would have to amount to 51% of the available nodes securing the contract to succeed and if caught those nodes forfeit their linkies.
Basically it's just another 51% attack. Possible but making link 81k reduces the possiblity significantly
