You didn't actually learn shit if you found out about the sub from the news. I'm a long-time lurker on wsb. You have no fucking clue what actual value this sub used to be. IDK when you joined, but if it was in the last week since it's been in the news and went from 2 million to 8, then rest assured, you learned absolutely nothing because it's been spammed by random normies who don't know shit about shit and can't DD for the life of them about anything.
Everyone's been bag holding GME as far as I understand. The OGs cashed out last week. That's for one. For another, the old sub was so fucking smart I don't think I ever replied to anything on it. WSB now? It's a fucking joke, ALL the top posts so fucking dumb even I can tell what's wrong with them. That's just pathetic and sad. And now probably we know why the mods didn't intervene sooner.
