How is r/wallstreetbets toxic? As someone who doesn’t day-trade, I still subscribe for the memes and self-aware jokes. It’s one of the few remaining large subreddits with tons of creative energy and no drama or politics.

And as someone who doesn’t day-trade, the “loss porn” regularly posted to r/wallstreetbets has firmly convinced me to stick with index funds.

Same here. I know that I'm neither smart enough nor willing to dedicate time to micromanaging my portfolio. Index funds/ETFs are the way to go, and I only invest in individual stocks (no options/puts for me) if they catch my eye and the research of others has a positive outlook.
