> It's interesting watching /r/wallstreetbets oscillate between "We did nothing wrong!" to "Well okay, some people were doing some things that were wrong, but hopefully no one will notice."

I feel like it’s mischaracterization to say that “/r/wallstreetbets” is either a single entity, or that the current group is at all connected to the “pre-GME” group. They had 1.7M users in Dec 2020, and are now over 9M. As well, there are undoubtedly bots, shills, and actors with their own agendas that were drawn as a direct result of the publicity.
