Richard Heart couldnt buy Andreas Antonopulos with 10 BTC but he bought one of the most trusted and reputable members of this forum for few hundreds of dollars and all those that joined the campaign. That says a lot about bitcointalk forum.
Huge difference here. Hhampuz is being hired to run a bounty, not "speak well" of HEX. Hhampuz is more of an advertising agent -- he is providing a service for hire. Aantop, on the other hand, is more of a spokesman and influencer. People act based on what he has to say. So really it doesn't say anything about the forum.
