It's lightly better than gambling, since you still end up with ownership of something

Eh, owning debt is always a possibility with options. But I agree, especially the people who YOLO large amounts of money on dailies. But honestly, that’s what makes WSB fun. There’s a mix of everything, serious traders, reckless gamblers. It’s insanely entertaining, even just from the sidelines.
