The amount is relevant, when the amount is so small that it can easily go unnoticed by the candidate. Yes they are transparent, but that doesn't change the fact that candidates will be likely not to notice small donations all that much.

Also the principle is different. A campaign contribution from an unsavory character is different than massive direct personal favors and bribes.
