1) Farmed accounts / shills, which represented the majority of the accounts posting in that thread and wearing signatures/avatars.
2) Greedy baboons which would sell out anything and anyone for a couple bucks.
3) A few ignorant and uninformed users here and there.
My view is not exactly as black and white like you say. There are grays also like greedy (but not who would sell out anything for a couple of bucks) and/or ignorant and/or uniformed users.
My view is not also totally pro or totally anti deeponion. I guess the projects in crypto nowadays are full of dubious ones. Well, deeponion may belong to it until they are able to prove their true worth. We may not be able to look at the projects in objective ways because in one way or another we are favoring some.
