| I will be your WSB historian. Two folds to the story - WSB Side WSB mods alleged the sub was suffocating with the GME and subsequent squeeze stock posts and shitty memes. I made couple memes myself but after the weeks to come WSB was inundated with all the memes centered around this one topic. WSB is a general investment subreddit that took a turn towards GME everything. Another problem was GME's foundational investment theory, that it had high short interest. But if you look at DFV's way of investing he preached low valuation high potential stock. Just the mere short interest as a determinant wasn't true but an after thought. From that point on, many people who thought they were late in the GME game started to pile on other high short interest stock like Bed Bath and Beyond, WKHS etc. At that point WSB was becoming less of a shitty DD based stock to shitty meme based stock site. Mods clutched up modding but you can never know the difference between one pile of shit vs another pile of shit when it comes to a post. So post removal felt arbitrary. Superstonk Side The GME centered group left WSB because there was a new mod who didn't fit the WSB philosophy. There were some personal hypothesis about her(?). They even alleged I believe that mod made their adolescent child a mod of WSB who were also removing content left and right. My post about cautioning people about GME which reached some magnitudes of thousand upvotes and plenty of agreeable comments was removed without notice. There were several highly upvoted and good value posts removed which led to people believing that the real wall street might have infiltrated the WSB. So, in this cloud of distrust groups left and they started their own spinoff version of WSB. |
You are confused. This has nothing to do with WSB.
What you are describing happened solely on r/SuperStonk or the other GME subreddits.
WSB has never had a child moderator.
