I've been working on a dashboard to track the sentiment and most mentioned tickers in the WSB daily discussion threads at https://www.quiverquant.com/wallstreetbets/

You can follow along and see how the WallStreetBets "portfolio" performs compared to the market every day.

As a non-investor, and from no analysis other than eyeballing this, it looks to me like the main takeaways here are a) that market movements are a reasonable predictor of WSB sentiment, and b) that WSB sentiment gradually increases over time whilst the market is flat, and resets on a crash. Is there more signal in here that I'm not seeing?

(Also, thanks for posting this. I love these kinds of dashboards.)

From the graph it is unclear to me which one is following the other. I wouldn't be surprised that that the WSB sentiment just reflect the eprformance of the market the previous day.
