Thesis in this case being “let’s protect GME from vultures and make some money on the side?” I have a hard time believing that is anything but PR. I’d hardly call the denizens of r/WSB altruistic. Sanctimonious, energetic, and smart? Absolutely. But they aren’t there because they want to empower the meek against the mighty.

Having lived through a number of cryptocurrency boom/bust cycles I’ve seen first hand how everyone is coordinated and holding the line...until those who have profit in their sights decide to find a bunch of bag holders to cover their exit. Poof.
