I find this, similar to the arguments against robinhood and extremists on social media, basically boils down to treating people as sheep and wanting to protect them from themselves.

I think it is a stretch to say r/wsb insiders are obviously taking advantage of newcomers. You can’t spend much time with WSB without developing some financial literacy, and there are compelling ideas. It is not just flexing and hype. Also, I don’t think there is a precedent (such as the pyramid scheme) for what they are doing in the market.

I think there is some truth to your mention of young Reddit person being vulnerable, but I think it is risky trying to protect them with regulation.
