It's wild over there now. WSB was always like the kid at school that always got into crazy stuff. Now, they're off their meds, haven't slept in a week, and just did a bunch of coke.

I don't know, I've lurked there a bit in the past (for amusement/actually got a couple of good tips from the more serious end of posts, didn't see DFV/RK on GME at the time unfortunately!) but when I looked last night it just seemed filled with obviously new people commenting, membership has tripled or something. I didn't really participate in its 'culture', but I think it would be a shame if it lost that - after all I don't lurk on r/investing or get any amusement from it. I suppose probably they'll get bored when there isn't an official announcement that the next quick buck shall be X and here is a step by step guide on purchasing shares and options, and move on.
Absolutely! A week or so ago I watched his July 2020 video (declaring it a great value buy looking for 50-100% at around $4..!!) out of curiousity. Interesting, but totally disconnected from the short squeeze mania, I missed that leap, at least from there to anti-shorters makes more sense (as in 'I understand your position').
