Incidentally, there are already a multitude of subreddits which have formed for the express purpose of manipulating the public markets. This is a really interesting interaction, though it's somewhat skewed by the fact that a player can simply revert to a saved game if the stock they've purchased tanks.
- ASUmusicMAN 13y agoDo you have a list of a few of the larger ones? I usually glance through /r/grandtheftautov every day or so but this is the first i've heard of subreddits organized for manipulation.
- bradleyland 13y agoTo say it's "skewed" is an understatement. Any market in which a group can collectively take a dive, then revert their losses while the winners commit (save) the upside is destined to be exploited.
- erdle 13y agoFairly certain he's basing this article on the top /r/gaming post the other day about trading. He only mentions hours passing between trades. Also, I know writers at NY Mag and others that have literally said to me "I don't know why you go on Reddit, I get paid to find stories on there and I still hate using it." HuffPo and everyone else literally just sits on the site waiting to take content.
