I’ve seen that explained on WSB. I don’t think there’s much confusion about it. Nonetheless, SI being that high will inevitably drive the price up to unwind, and take quite some time to unwind. The evidence of naked shorts (which Market Makers are permitted to do to enable liquidity) seems primarily based on FTDs.
Re:YouTube bans coronavirus vaccine misinformation

I do worry specifically about what defines “misinformation”—sure, let’s ban “the vaccine has a microchip programmed to kill you” or something, but would we ban a vaccine recipient reporting adverse reactions they experienced? This will probably be the most widely and rapidly deployed vaccine in the history of the world, and I think it’s important that any and all necessary information becomes widely available, and I don’t necessarily trust the proper and official channels to always report all of that information.

Such a confusing writing style; I gave up pretty quickly. 4 (mobile) pages down and I have no context on what I’m reading.

Isn’t Joe Rohan a libertarian rather than a liberal? The article lost me on that in the very beginning. Not saying anything against Rogan (or for Rogan for that matter), but I’ fairly certain his ideals align with libertarianism, not liberalism.

I want to like their phone, but this will be a lot like using Linux on the desktop in the 90s. Software won’t be available and it will get in the way of anything productive I need to do.
