I followed WSB for a couple of years before the GME thing kicked off. When it did, it was great fun for about a week, then I unsubscribed. It got very repetitive and boring.

They could at least pick a different moon to aim for.

Agreed, I'm a big WSB lurker in the past, but I wasn't so sure when the GME event erupted.

You should check it out again. We recently restricted memes to Friday afternoon to Sunday morning and the context is almost all text now.

  I can't figure out if this is sarcasm or an actual response.

    It's a real response. And yea, memes only on weekends did actually improve the board.

    It's an actual response. WSB just changed up their rules (I'm not super active there and I don't really understand why) but this is accurately stated.

  I used to visit WSB 5 or 6 years back, whenever I visit it now it all seems to be millionaires pumping their positions in separate trading account as "YOLO" trade trying to get dumb people to pump the stock. All WSB does now is magnify the winners/pumpers while leaving trail of poor people without their money.

    > All WSB does now is magnify the winners/pumpers while leaving trail of poor people without their money. That's all it ever was from my observation from around the same time; they shill the most absurd stock with emojis and brag about taking losses with diamond hands, but somehow discussing Bitcoin as an actual way to counter-act the ills of the 'hedgies' or central banks was banned so I lost interest. I occasionally drop back in for certain things. Like the ape statue at Wallstreet in front of the bull and buying kids those switches was cool, though. But those incidents were always the exception, not the rule.
