If you don't like his theory, that's fine. He lays it out and everyone can decide for themselves.
The constant labeling people as pumpers and fuddsters contributes nothing but noise to the board.
I will point out that there seems to be a few posters that are constantly attacking other posters rather than the contents of their posts or discussing the company.
Again, each reader can come to his own conclusions as to what that is about.
As for the economics of paying posters, that is an interesting question. One has to ask the question of who would benefit from such a strategy. To answer that question one has to figure out who has a vested interest in manipulating the share price and how effective that process would be, i.e. how much bang for the buck can be realized. None of these questions have clear answers and that is be design of the participants involved.
My observation is that the share price is more easily manipulated down than up, for whatever that is worth.
Posters have many different takes on the current situation. The reasons for that vary from lack of information, to considering all the possible outcomes for the future. Discussing a range of positive outcomes is not more pumping than discussing the range of negative outcomes is fudding.
Constantly attempting to discredit other posters that have a different view of the situation by personal attacks is a tell in my view.
What it is a tell of, is up to each reader to decide.
Success is the best revenge.
