I'm not sure I'm on board with that lead analogy because everyone's investing goals are different.

I'd say WSB encourages highly volatile, short-term investments. For most people that's bad advice. For others, they'd much rather be broke or a millionaire than wait 40 years for their savings to steadily accumulate into a reasonable nest egg.

It's not just the goals, it's the reasoning. There are highly upvoted advice posts that are transparently illogical and/or based on factual errors.

I popped on at the height of the turn to see multiple posts about a "short ladder attack", a concept that exists nowhere except in the echo chamber of WSB.

The groupthink levels are enormous and frankly terrifying

lead is a great analogy here because its a sweetener.
