There's only 300K people reading that subreddit at the moment. During the peak earlier in the month it was over a million. (edits, refreshed 4 mins later and it's just under 500K).

Also, for the conspiracy fans, notice that the majority of the rise (90 -> 199) has happened / is happening during post market hours when normal users (retail) cant do anything. 50->90 happened during normal trading hours.
