> Having commentary on a site like this is a great way to turn into WSB/StockTwits

I don't know; I'd be pretty pleased to be running (and monetizing!) a site at the scale & impact of WSB.

Fair point -- if the goal is monetization/stickiness-for-advertising instead of quality (no moral judgement on my part) then maybe it does make sense to encourage the "engagement" of users in that way.

I wonder if it's harder to stand-out as an WSB/StockTwits alternative or as a product for investors looking for a "better" news source.
