I assume that pros reading WSB are reading it to better cater to and/or take advantage of that crowd rather than to “invest” alongside.

It’s akin to trying to get seated at the poker table with a terrible player. It’s not because you want to emulate their play, but rather you want to be in the game with them.

Exactly my point with the fish-in-a-barrel comment. It's kind of sad really, as many of them have gambling addictions and serious financial problems.
