I'm going to make this as simple as possible for /p/.
Chosis isn't acting like he has nothing to hide here. Nobody bans their followers like this when promoting a shady looking contest unless something is on the line for them.
Do we really want someone who tries to scam /p/, then boasts 176 people have fallen for it already, running around trying to represent us in the industry?
He's already said he plans to launch a /p/ podcast and talks to e-celebs like Jared Polin while representing 4chan's photography board to them.
