That was posted 4 days ago, long before the ladder attacks and disinformation campaigns desperately trying to shift attention away from GME. People need to understand the risks involved and not sink their life savings, but there is definitely more going on here than what you'd see in a crypto pump and dump. When a hedge fund shorts 120% of available stock, then retail investors don't sell, and aren't swayed by every trick in the book... something is going to give.

Curiously nobody was looking for ladders when the price was going up...
Yeah I think if your going to make a cynical post calling everyone idiots you should address some of what happened like the low volume trading, curve ball from brokers preventing trades etc.. There was a lot of chaos in the last few days idk if you can just write it all off as suckers getting played
