I know everyone here is cheering for that move and inherently it probably is good. But what will inevitably happen is that we will see more people that come on the show for solely/mainly publicity reasons. We already see that happening right now occasionally when people ask for like 5% equity with clear objective or not making a deal with the sharks


Sure, but now that the show is well known, the producers probably have options to pick from among candidates.

So its at their discretion to allow so called "publicity whores"
