They're not just some hours it feels, they're some days to a week behind. I've been following this one for a week or two now, and silver was never the mainstay. It was there in small quantities, but generally drowned out by $GME, and even $BB and $AMC. Maybe sometime it would be fun to do some analysis of relative mentions of $SLV and other silver related things as compared to GME/BB/AMC.
Selective reporting is one of the more sneaky forms of bias after all. No need to blatantly lie when you can paint a different truth with parts of the whole.
On an aside, popular is an interesting way to describe those posts. 14k peak upvotes with many of the ones cited at 4 digit upvote totals. That's not what I'd call popular, especially considering the rapid growth of the sub.
