Interesting take - especially the tie in to other internet culture. I think it might be a bit over analysis and a lot of people just effing around (people actively taking advantage) enjoying the ridiculousness/oneupmanship of the subreddit thread. I would say that the thread rewards ridiculous behavior by the upvote dopamine loop (small but some level of street cred in the subreddit). I also wonder how many institutional investors now have algorithms developed or at least monitor this thread.
