      My sentiments exactly. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, as annoying as they can be. Now that I’m not using reddit I wish them the best of luck wreaking havoc.

    I feel like this is just Reddit asking for the sub to inflate the stock like they did GameStop.

      Shorts apply downward pressure to the market price, so not sure how well thought out the plan is.

      they are a toxic community,

      Yeah. Being mostly comprised of Incel, conspiracy, Q / Trump shills who think they can predict the future better than their peers will do that to a community.

        Looking at the real foundation of wsb and /u/deepfuckingvalue it’s not hard to see why conspiracy theorists and the gullible jumped onboard.

        The thing about gme was dfv was 10000% correct.

          Yeah, and then everyone involved in GME left the sub. What remained was what remains today.

          If you need to run back three years to find a single instance in which a guy was correct, I would not bet the bank on the next prediction being a big winner.

          AMC, Best Buy, and Hertz all bled out like stuck pigs while these dorks were screaming and crying.

            Yeah, thats because AMC took the value they gained from WSB shills, and used it to pay their bonuses instead of improving their business. GME is the only company that actually tried to do something with the windfall value they gained.

              AMC took the value they gained from WSB shills, and used it to pay their bonuses

              Which is why their firm was in the tank to begin with. And something DFV should (or, perhaps did) already know.

        God it was glorious back before all these people though. Watching people gamble on their tuition or turn a $50k loan into -$300,000 of debt for memes was fucking hilarious.

      Considering they’re DMing certain Reddit users (their most active users, according to the DM) about being given a chance buy Reddit stock during the IPO (that’s not strictly PR speak; they’re actually setting aside some stock for their users), that’s entirely possible.

    I hope they short it into the sub-basement. I hate those twats, especially when I modded /r/amc, but I might just have to cheer for them if they can snowball the Reddit IPO. It would be spectacular.

      Was about to comment basically the same thing. They are ableist morons who are poster children for the Dunning-Kruger effect with their YOLOing and HODLing and whatnot, but them fucking over spez would make my god damned decade and I’d raise a glass to those cunts.

      Nikola shorts profited from the company being a scam and being exposed. They did a useful service by driving the price down.
