>Why wouldn't you short GME after the price has risen so high?

Because the stock is already over 100% short and an army of retail investors is purchasing it

So? If you had shorted GME yesterday, you would make a bunch now that the price has collapsed.

What if the price goes up further? It's already rebounded 50% from the short ladder/blatant robinhood manipulation. Why put yourself on the hook for something during a black swan event?

Because that is also often when it is a good time to make money.

It's entirely unsurprising to me that short pressure on the stock would increase after this.
