Here’s a serious question: should we be bracing for a massive influx of stock bros after reddit inevitably find some pretext to shut down wallstreetbets?
I mean, it’s true. WSB has been under scrutiny and introduces the risk of litigation or legal action towards Reddit. That could hurt stock prices. It’s all pretty routine to disclose potential risks in IPO documents or regular annual shareholder documents.
They have been purging subreddits for years that are not advertiser friendly, usually after they get media attention. Really no reason to expect them to stop the purges. There is a reason I am here and not there, and that is just one of them.

Surprised it hasn’t happened yet
It looks like there is already a (somewhat) active community at !wallstreetbets
We should be embracing them. A lot of financial experts is good to have against the fight against ghoulish institutions in Wall St.

Lol, WSB hates the apes. They like to actually make money, instead of incinerating it on companies going through obvious death spirals.
A bigger risk than a terrible leadership team?

What a load of bs.
Does people trying to short you make your stock less valuable? Maybe because potential investors can see the sentiment?
