Oh I don't think they are paid by anyone, and agree they are on board because they believe that this is going to shoot up very soon. Although having their followers along for the ride is only temporary, since they all just bail once it hits a certain PPS, it doesn't help the long term just helps the followers once they bail with their profit. Maybe some stay on once they realize it is for real, and the extra exposure is good, but we all know they just bounce around.
