I didn't push any conspiracy language at all. The market is a bustling place with quite a lot of collusion, conversation, planning and coordinating. It also has a number of macro dynamics that are ... not what retail investors think happens when they buy a stock. There's a lot of continuous process innovation, business model innovation, and new ideas people / companies / hedge funds try all the time. The system is immensely complex, and has some unintended consequences. With all that, who needs weirdo conspiracy theories? I see this as one group of people found out they have more power than expected given some relatively novel market dynamics, and someone is very efficiently making a point about it in the capitalized market of ideas. No conspiracy needed. No need to be hostile about people marching behind RoaringKitty with pitchforks either though; this is fun and interesting stuff.
