> I think /r/wallstreetbets is going to be 'ruined' by its newfound popularity for the foreseeable future, we can already see the subreddit drama and disinformation in full swing.
It already is ruined. Given the influx of media attention, new users, bots and the GME after-party of bag-holders who missed the ship. The 'actual' old members (who got in early as $5 - $20) are already gone with their gains. Now it's just full of latecomers who bought as high as $200 - $465 posting screenshots of losing their entire life savings.
The subreddit already had users pretending and memeing to be idiots until the real idiots came in and those posting screenshots of their huge losses with their life savings with disinformation, ape emojis, 'diamond hands', 'hodl' as the stock fell etc.
Not only they didn't know that they have become a meme, They are now going to be featured in the new WallStreetBets movie. Won't be surprised if they called it 'Diamond Hands' or 'The big short squeeze'.
