Petition to add /b/ to the bloomberg panel. Might improve things. Or just crash the rare pepe market.
It's so odd to see mentions of Internet memes and casual cyberculture on HN of all places.
It shouldn't be, it's obvious whenever a story about 4chan or Reddit (or even Voat or 8chan) come up, that there's a significant overlap in the membership. Hacker News doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Yes there are a few erudite intellectuals, brilliant greybeards, and SV millionaires knocking about, but there are plenty of scrubs here as well (present company included.)

Nor are those categories mutually exclusive...

Given the shitposting on /r/wallstreetbets I'm going to say you have a decent chance of being correct.
