I cannot read the thing,,, too blurry for my eyes. But if I am not mistaken Tone Vays himself is a big shiller/influencer. You can pay him to say whatever you want him to say. Now he is rich and he is a bit more picky but he deleted also a lot of videos and stuff in the ICO days that he said were good and turned out to be scam.
You mean that the posted image of me is blurry? If you click on it, the direct link to postimg.cc should open, there you can see the image clean and readable in any case.
But basically you're right: It's about the fact that a DeFi project would have paid a lot of money (500k) for Tone to promote this project among his followers so that they would buy and drive the price up. Tone then posted the request publicly under the title "How DeFi works".
That's what they'll do if they can review back those projects that they've helped and advertised that paid them much. And today, there's always the disclaimer from these popular influencers.
Do they really do that? I honestly only know it now from Coinbureau, who weeks before he reviews a coin, already announces that but does not give an exact date to avoid short-term pumps by his reviews.
