It’s not if you’re retail but there are signs to indicate that professional traders drummed up retail over on r/wsb without any disclosures.

Even if that were true, would it constitute manipulation? What disclosures are required for stating opinion and publicly available information. I can find 1000 articles on google finance.

It’s a problem if let’s say a hedge fund buys a struggling stock such as AMC for example and decides to plaster the entire sub using hundreds if not thousands of manufactured accounts? It’s been happening for awhile over on r/wsb. It’s basically a political misinformation campaign for stocks. DL makes it very easy to create believable live accounts.
