Bold of you to assume there was anything to be ruined. The entire subreddit consists mostly of stupid-as-rocks "Due Diligence", screenshots of accounts showing off big gains and losses, and memes.

It had a culture, you can have a person view on if that culture has value but it did have one, a unique one that i enjoyed.

Now its just teenagers with $600 trading accounts calling each other "apes".

Where exactly on r/wallstreetbets are you seeing these 'teenagers with $600 trading accounts calling each other "apes"'?

Can you provide some recent links?

To be fair that's just and adaption and extension of the "Can't stump the Trump" and "LibCuck" thing from 2015.

Reddit really, really cant let a joke die.

The subreddit started as a goofy IRC chat back in like 2012. The humor about yachts and such was similar, but there were actual people interested in and (allegedly) good at automated trading setups. Last I saw, jartek moved admin rights to the subreddit to another entity (presumably for $? i forget at this point). It'd been a goof-fest for quite a while, but GME sent it overboard.
