Is John McAfee's Coin a Day Plan Good or Bad for Crypto?

John McAfee began his promised coin evaluation series today and the results were absolutely predictable.

He gave a ticker, and it exploded.  Today focusing on Electroneum.

While I appreciate a news and focus on the crypto market in general, should we be concerned that one tweet can add millions in market cap to a coin?  How are we to tell it's not just a personal enrichment scheme?  People were critical of Coinbase's ability to move markets simply by adding Bitcoin Cash, is this not worse?  That a screenshot pic in a tweet can move millions of USD worth of volume and allow a coin to climb the market cap ladder seems a bit ridiculous.
