that's not how it works. Email me if you are genuinely interested in the how the institutional investors and market makers fit into this whole ecosystem. I'm tired of explaining market structure/incentives on HN. hint:

wall st money was lost on gme, not made. Market makers got killed trying to hedge those deltas, over and over again (it is impossible to statically hedge an option you have sold with a long/short position in the underlying tho in some cases like far ITM options, you can pretend like you can because the options delta is 1)
