DFV owns my heart but ruined my favourite subreddit, i have mixed feelings.....

  Bold of you to assume there was anything to be ruined. The entire subreddit consists mostly of stupid-as-rocks "Due Diligence", screenshots of accounts showing off big gains and losses, and memes.

    It had a culture, you can have a person view on if that culture has value but it did have one, a unique one that i enjoyed. Now its just teenagers with $600 trading accounts calling each other "apes".
