> r/WSB isn't commanding people to buy

ehhhhhh... I've seen plenty of BUY BUY BUY posts. Unless I'm missing your point. I understand what WSB isn't a corporation or entity in and of itself, but it is still a (somewhat) organised group of uh... "investors".

Cramer says buy buy buy almost every day on his show during lighting round. Is that manipulation too?

But aren’t there plenty of “BUY BUY BUY” posts that result in nothing? My understanding prior to this was that r/WSB was typically a lot of hot air being blown around trying to drum up enthusiasm. No different than your uncle saying at the table “I’ve invested in... and it’s going sky high!”

The bar to qualify this random association of people as organized seems pretty high.

Yeah absolutely, this is one of the few shots that landed, but it was still a very obvious shot.

I qualified "organised" with "somewhat", because nothing in this kind of place is ever really organised, but I mean just look at what they've done. You couldn't do this with a fully disorganised group.

True... except they don’t call themselves investors. They relish using terms like autists, degenerates. Basically they enjoy sending across a message more than making a fortune today.. it’s like a cult
