Completely irrelevant. ION is so intransparent, it doesn't make sense to invest in it, no matter how many masternodes it has.
Sorry I'm behind on ION development, I've been far too busy profiting on real coins....

Is this masternode bs like the DASh and XPY prime controllers where they stake coins or some bullshit?
Kinda. The twist here is that all masternodes share 50% of block reward, which is a fixed amount (11.5 ION per block, soon to be reduced to 8.5 ION). While the number of masternodes grows the total reward remains the same, meaning less reward for each masternode. That's one of many reasons why Shark's shilling doesn't make any sense.
