I used to visit WSB 5 or 6 years back, whenever I visit it now it all seems to be millionaires pumping their positions in separate trading account as "YOLO" trade trying to get dumb people to pump the stock.

All WSB does now is magnify the winners/pumpers while leaving trail of poor people without their money.

That's all it ever was from my observation from around the same time; they shill the most absurd stock with emojis and brag about taking losses with diamond hands, but somehow discussing Bitcoin as an actual way to counter-act the ills of the 'hedgies' or central banks was banned so I lost interest.

I occasionally drop back in for certain things.

Like the ape statue at Wallstreet in front of the bull and buying kids those switches was cool, though.

But those incidents were always the exception, not the rule.
