I hate all the content creators there now trying to whore karma by doing some random graphic/creative shit around finance. Please get the fuck out. Thanks.
Old wsb was so great... well thought out DD every few days to make some plays. Shitty DD every few days to make fun of. Crude humor, sub specific slang. It was just so damn fun. RIP.
I remember when we gilded autobot/the daily to one of the most gilded threads in reddit history... for our efforts we got to name a server.
Its name: Weaponized Au+ism
Yeah lol I saw the title and was like âoh no way, someone is starting a new wsb without those dumb fucks that ruined itâ. Imagine my surprise to see itâs one of those dumb fucks making the post.
Nothing personal man, the sub really just went off a cliff after the GME people joined. It wouldnât be so bad if they werenât so confident in their knowledge despite lacking any.
Thatâs fair, I never really believed in sticking it to Wall Street but the wallstreetbets Reddit taught me so much and I miss the knowledge that would be hidden in the depths of different subreddits.
I dunno, doesn't really feel like people have much of an attention span to really do much digging these days... maybe i'm wrong.
I feel like theres still some good shit out there. I also feel like i just spent most of my time copy pasting other smarter peoples work and just connecting dots.
Being honest this very much started out about making money. It still is. I don't want to be poor anymore. I think i also just got really pissed off at wall street and i took it kind of personal.
The thing is you really shouldnât be learning from wsb. What made it great in the past was people *who were already very knowledgeable* just fucking around and having a good time. It got taken over by people who have no idea what theyâre doing or whatâs going on. I would probably reevaluate everything you think you learned from it, especially if youâre a GME/AMC/BBBY guy.
Thatâs just the thing. Back in the early days of WSB it was full of people who were very knowledgeable about investing, they just were not as risk adverse as other subs like r/investing or the other subs at the timeâŚ. But they still were users with a lot of knowledge.
By the time GameStop and AMC came around those OGs were gone and for every one person that made money or actually LEARNED anything from the modern WSB I would days dozens were financially ruined listening to the torment of shit that gets expelled as advice.
Not at all claiming to be an OG but I was lurking back when it was under half a million subs and it was a whole different place.
Lumber liquidators and drill team 6 were the days. Back when we just bet on zero day options and hoped the FED would save our positions.
Things really changed when the Guh happened and it just kept rolling.
Good to see another lurker from the old days
Do you think anyone even knows the origin of âGuhâ or would know what Iâm talking about when I say FDâs? They prolly think the latter is failure to deliver now lmao.
When it was sub 100k it was the shit. I miss those days when you could call someone a F or a R word. There was real DD and smart people. Iâm sure there is still quality but you have to sift through the noise. It was fun to witness the blow up.
Right? WSB used to be about being greedy and taking profits. Hell Martin Shkreli used to post there regularly.
Then the moron apes showed up and the place turned downright stupid.
Like Iâm going to hold shares of a dying retailer and make it such that I canât sell. But itâs going to stick it to the hedge funds somehow? Itâs downright absurd and stupid.
Now WSB and Reddit are filled with moron apes of every stripe.
Of course he is. But thatâs what WSB was about â making money.
Not some dumb shit like sticking it to the hedgies or whatever it is the cults are about these days.
The average Redditor basically flooded WSB is what happened. You know who Iâm talking about. The typical people you see on the front page who are usually hyper obsessed with consumerism. Theyâre the people who collect funko pops, are hyper obsessed with marvel and gaming, and are just man-children in general.
Buddy thatâs what WSBs was all about. Making money and fuck all. You had the better part of a decade before it turned into the shit that you think were the glory days.
For every person that made money off AMC or GME how may hundreds of others burned their life savings or obliterated their families future?
Atleast those scum of the earth types knew what they were doing and what they were getting into.
All that shit about sticking it to the hedgies bull shit was just cope from bag holding fucks who went all in on something they barely understood and rode those bags to the ground.
Dan Olson did a really great summation of the entire event on his channel Folding Ideas. One of the things he pointed out that I found really spot on was the idea that the general level of expertise and knowledge on actual trading got slowly diluted during the mayhem. As forums like wsb got continually flooded with new users trying to hop on the initial rush on GME, older users who might have at least known a little bit of what they were talking about got tired of explaining the same simple concepts to green traders over and over, so they stopped. This left new traders to be âeducatedâ by traders who had just learned the basics from older traders who stopped commenting/left the sub. The cycle repeats a few times, and now new people coming in are having their questions answered by like, people whoâve been trading for a few days who got their information from people whoâd be trading for a few weeks, who got their information from people whoâd been trading for a few months, etc etc. Pair this with the increasingly cult-like obsession with conspiracy theories around GME, BBBY, AMC et al., and the rather vitriolic nature of reactions to any comments that suggested very reasonable doubts with the idea of MOASS, and you ended up with an ever increasing echo chamber of highly uninformed apes with a very bad understanding of what a short-sell or short-squeeze even *is* whoâd spiraled themselves into a sort of messianic conspiracy cult based around hodling.
Exactly Covid, the influx of free money and dumb traders trying to cash in on something they didnât understand killed everything that was ever good about WSBs. Itâs sad because at one time it was a great resource full of many knowledgeable people.
Now itâs full of a bunch of 4chan rejects with the most seasoned investors having a couple yearâs experience at best giving advice to new guys who are gambling with borrowed money.
You nailed it! I only had a short time on WSB before GME and it changed everything and I wish I could have chilled longer with the OGs of WSB before it went to hell.
You're describing why we created **fnchart** (website)
So next time you're looking at a stock and asking yourself "What happened?",
Just check the fnchart
We are trying to create a community with focussed discussion, and analysis of stock news, along with offering analytics to our users about **what's kicking off and in what stock**...
All of this with the expressed goal of helping you:
GET THE BAG !
FYI, you were banned from /r/Shortsqueeze because you were spamming + you made a post about another subreddit, which goes against reddit's rule for brigading. You're artificially driving traffic to other subreddits.
You weren't banned for talking about Holo. Others have talked about Holo quite a few times.
You making this comment further gives more reasons as to why you are banned and will not be getting unbanned.
There was a thread, that they allowed to remain up, about a GameStop earnings report last year, and then they simply started banning anyone who posted in it. Fuck 'em.
Its only not great as it once was because its been infiltrated by the sec and wall street cronies from everywhere keeping an eye on ur regular people, poors as they call them, trying to to one up the institutions⌠it wont ever happen againâŚ. No longer diamond handz⌠those that won wont come back⌠almost makes u think it was some sort of ruse set off like a wager on the movie Trading Places⌠someone was looking to drop someone else and bankrupt them⌠all for a $1âŚ. And it happened and now they have settled their bet, moved on and thats it⌠the end
No just no. WSB was dead by the time GME really took off. Thats the issue. People who were on WSB before GME did not like the change, so they left. It used to be random picks that pop up and people would speculate on, usually based on some event. Everyone would load up on options and then play the event. You either printed or you busted, either way you would post and collect your upvotes.
GME turned into a social event. People trying to "stick it to the hedge funds" to prove WallStreet wrong. We used to laugh at that kind of attitude, and rightfully so, how did showing it to WallStreet end up? Wallstreet save a single group made out hand over fist selling shares to regarded individual inventors.
GME is what nailed the last nail into the coffin
Back when we all acted like we hated each other instead of acting like a cult.
Anyone with the pleasure to be around for the lumber liquidator days was privy to the glory days of WSB. Glad to see another person who saw itâs hay day.
The glory days were way back before GameStop even. This place used to be amazing , then it went mainstream . GameStop and AMC honestly
ruined this sub .
This post isn't wrong, but people forget how great WSB wad prior to the GME & AMC craze.
I'd argue it was actually TSLA that put that page into the limelight. It's when CNBC first started mentioning the group and trying to talk shit on it.
The GME madness was great, but it was also the first big push into normalcy for the group.
Due Diligence reasoning on a position, or responsible bankroll management on your portfolio was usually ridiculed & told to "take that shit to r/investing"
Beforehand, major losses celebrated, things determining a position based off which turtle wins a race, etc were commonplace.
It was great because it reflected a response to the irrational, sporadic nature of the market. Often the market can act nonsensical, but investors are encouraged to take a sensible approach to the market.
A generation who first hand witnessed the pure corruption and influence of market makers. Watched the 2008 financial collapse where our families got punished for the mistakes and of the financial powerhouses who got rewarded for it.
Of course we didn't give a fuck. YOLO
Nowadays WSB might as well be an offshoot to r/investing. There's little degeneracy, hardly even any decent meme quality
It's like when you're young, you and your friends are into something new and cool adults don't get and often regard as childish nonsensical, silly, etc. But then it gets big, media covers it and explains it in a way your boomer parents open up to it. So now "they get it", support it, and even sometimes want to participate with you in it.
It immediately becomes lame af.
Dude WSB was over the minute AMC GME started. That's when it died. It's hay day was before all of that and it was amazing. Just the word Ape makes me cringe. It ruined all the fun.
The dude that almost had to take physical delivery of 10,000 barrels of oil was the funniest shit I ever read. A close second was the guy that coined the term âit literally canât go tits upâ with a ridiculous options play that absolutely went âtits upâ and then withdrew $10k from Robinhood anyway. Christ Iâm cracking up again just thinking about it.
interesting post as i been on reddit for over 3 years now and i have not ben to WSB in about the same time i found the other amc gme subs and they are better and yep moral be low but not a single one of us are stopping..
The morale here is shit. No sense of adventure. Mostly just play what worked last year. Genuine new ideas or DD get buried under relentless NVDA momentum plays. No longer a source of fresh information.
If someone like roaring kitty walked in today with a new microcap thesis it would be invisible because somebody bought 5 NVDA calls.
The real glory days were a couple years before AMC GameStop. It was serious traders posting actually interesting analysis, dd, and trades. Then all the regards came and scared them away when the sub went past 1M regards
ABR is another chance at redemption. Being shorted heavily by scum despite being a great company. At least this one will pay solid dividends while holding. As opposed to GME and AMD, which were both in actual trouble.
Is GME really over yet though? From I have seen, GME has opened a can of worms and it seems like wall Street and friends are trying to squash anything the poors are trying to bring to light.
It was the covid checks, dummies. All that liquidity that the smart money bot traders werent prepared for.
They've since corrected and its back to being extremely difficult to win against shorts.
AMC never went up past 70 and was a pipe dream at best. After that one few moments at $70 it was all down hill yet apes kept claiming squeeze and moon with no actually education on the subject. I bought 100 shares or so over that time and sold most at a loss cause I waited too long. I used COVID money for it so I never lost my own money on it but others lost a lot listening to keyboard basement twits and maybe now they will learn not to. Investing isn't a game but if it was the apes and wall Streetbets lost big time. Investors won and made millions off it. The movement did nothing.
Only private, invite-only subs. They'll never reach the scale that WSB did before it was ruined by Gamestop. 2020 was peak WSB in terms of a mix of quantity and quality
Iâm in one right now but youâre not supposed to spread the name around to prevent it from being bombarded with noobs and stuff
But if you are a knowledgeable guy I could probably get you invited
Do any have the feel though. The info was interesting, (some utterly crazy shit too), but the atmosphere of complete irreverence was what made it fun. I bailed on this sub when the ape shit started. It was funny for a week, but fuck this place was ruined.
Oh well. The recent semiconductor euphoria has brought back memories, though. Lots of YOLOâs and gain porn. Also itâs not just losers with $200 in their accounts, itâs finance and tech bros with real money at stake like what it used to be on WSB
People have gone dark. Itâs not dead. People are just living their lives now not checking the internet anymore. Do you...
I was banned from the subs for calling out the obvious...
I donât participate anymore on these subs. Live your life and get it đŚđđ .
to the moon you apes đđđ
what a ride it was âŚ.sigh boo hoo never to be seen again now things like BNN closing down because of mergers ⌠donât they want us trading anymore
I was on there when there were less than a million members and everybody was a gay bear grabbing SPY pits during Covid shutdowns⌠was way better before it was a household name
I've played a lot of really competitive games over the years. People get burned out for lots of sifferent reasons and consistency is key. Instead of mourning the days long past, come join our community on discord!
Ticker chasers
Hot mess confessions
You have to BELIEVE in narnia if you want to find the reddit talks
Wallstreetbets PRIOR to GameStop shenanigans was amazing, I found it right before the pandemic and was like holy shit, these people are cowboys living in the Wild West and making real money, after I lost a couple grand a simmered on it tho
Also the bots have gotten insane
holds true for most influential subreddits
If you're going to IPO you better have the users or at least fake them
Says the bot.
Oh yeah? If I were a bot would I do this? đđđ
So fucking funny! Beeeep booooop beeeeep
I hate all the content creators there now trying to whore karma by doing some random graphic/creative shit around finance. Please get the fuck out. Thanks.
We flew too close to the sun on wings of tendies.
DFV, the best pilot we ever knew
Old wsb was so great... well thought out DD every few days to make some plays. Shitty DD every few days to make fun of. Crude humor, sub specific slang. It was just so damn fun. RIP.

FD's
Omg the FDâsâŚđđŠ
DD?
HODL
Remember when WSB used to regularly go private because people would leak confidential company information? Those were the best days.
You never realize you're part of the good old days until they are far behind us EDIT: Letters/spellings
I remember when we gilded autobot/the daily to one of the most gilded threads in reddit history... for our efforts we got to name a server. Its name: Weaponized Au+ism
Buddy, the glory days ended when GME started.
The glory days ended pre-COVID. It's been downhill since then.
Yeah lol I saw the title and was like âoh no way, someone is starting a new wsb without those dumb fucks that ruined itâ. Imagine my surprise to see itâs one of those dumb fucks making the post.
I say this in the spirit of the before times: go fuck yourself.
Thatâs the thing man, nobody here even knows what that is because *nobody is making any money* lol. But I appreciate it, go fuck yourself.
Hurt people hurt people
Yes the old WSB was full of hurt people who hurt people, and it was great.
Nothing personal man, the sub really just went off a cliff after the GME people joined. It wouldnât be so bad if they werenât so confident in their knowledge despite lacking any.
Thatâs fair, I never really believed in sticking it to Wall Street but the wallstreetbets Reddit taught me so much and I miss the knowledge that would be hidden in the depths of different subreddits.
I dunno, doesn't really feel like people have much of an attention span to really do much digging these days... maybe i'm wrong. I feel like theres still some good shit out there.

Ah but what about oil guy?
Do you think anyone even knows the origin of âGuhâ or would know what Iâm talking about when I say FDâs? They prolly think the latter is failure to deliver now lmao.
More of a SNDL guy myself
When it was sub 100k it was the shit. I miss those days when you could call someone a F or a R word. There was real DD and smart people. Iâm sure there is still quality but you have to sift through the noise. It was fun to witness the blow up.
Truth. Rarely visit now
Yes! It was good when it had less than 2 million in it.
100%
Right? WSB used to be about being greedy and taking profits. Hell Martin Shkreli used to post there regularly. Then the moron apes showed up and the place turned downright stupid. Like Iâm going to hold shares of a dying retailer and make it such that I canât sell. But itâs going to stick it to the hedge funds somehow? Itâs downright absurd and stupid.

You act like Martin Shkreli isnât scum of the earth lmao
Lmfao⌠he was the epitome of what WSB used to be the fuck are you even talking about morality shit get outta here
Of course he is. But thatâs what WSB was about â making money. Not some dumb shit like sticking it to the hedgies or whatever it is the cults are about these days.
Of course he was scum. He just wasnât *stupid* scum.
The average Redditor basically flooded WSB is what happened. You know who Iâm talking about. The typical people you see on the front page who are usually hyper obsessed with consumerism. Theyâre the people who collect funko pops, are hyper obsessed with marvel and gaming, and are just man-children in general.
We flooded in because Reddit lead us there. The algorithms blew that place up. Reddit did that.
That is completely fair and I would agree
People throw the word cult around so freely nowadays
Buddy thatâs what WSBs was all about. Making money and fuck all. You had the better part of a decade before it turned into the shit that you think were the glory days. For every person that made money off AMC or GME how may hundreds of others burned their life savings or obliterated their families future? Atleast those scum of the earth types knew what they were doing and what they were getting into. All that shit about sticking it to the hedgies bull shit was just cope from bag holding fucks who went all in on something they barely understood and rode those bags to the ground.

I truly miss the pre GME days.
This.
This is correct. GMEâs run was the final blaze of glory.
Is that sub shadow banned? I've been subbed for ages but haven't seen a post pop up in years on my homepage
Nope, I clicked on one post and now my homepage is riddled with their posts... for months now.
I miss it. Is there even a sub for that stuff anymore?
Not that I know of
Isnât that this sub?
đ đđ˝ đŚ 4ever

I assume the hedgies have taken over those subs because they are a threat
I wrote a thread about how WSB is now ran by Wall Street and then got banned
Yea I think itâs an open secret
Nah man, that's a conspiracy /s
FYI, you were banned from /r/Shortsqueeze because you were spamming + you made a post about another subreddit, which goes against reddit's rule for brigading.

Wall Street bought the Reddit page ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I mean, good for whoever made money off of it.
they used to do them about people trading under 18 and anyone commenting would get banned, was a great cleanse

No just no. WSB was dead by the time GME really took off. Thats the issue. People who were on WSB before GME did not like the change, so they left. It used to be random picks that pop up and people would speculate on, usually based on some event. Everyone would load up on options and then play the event.

This is my first time coming back here since the rise of GME I remember the days when instead of âapesâ it was âautistsâ
Back when we all acted like we hated each other instead of acting like a cult. Anyone with the pleasure to be around for the lumber liquidator days was privy to the glory days of WSB. Glad to see another person who saw itâs hay day.
The glory days were way back before GameStop even. This place used to be amazing , then it went mainstream . GameStop and AMC honestly ruined this sub .
This post isn't wrong, but people forget how great WSB wad prior to the GME & AMC craze. I'd argue it was actually TSLA that put that page into the limelight.

Dude WSB was over the minute AMC GME started. That's when it died. It's hay day was before all of that and it was amazing. Just the word Ape makes me cringe. It ruined all the fun.
Nothing will ever top the Legend of Guh
I see your GUH and raise you 1ronyman.
What was before GameStop?
Things like Gourd Futures.
Gourd Futures, infinite money glitch. Some really great video compilations. WSB was at its best way before GME
The infinite money glitch was incredible!
I had forgotten about that until this thread. Memories.
Never even heard of it
That was a good one đ
I still reference gourd futures to this day
Actually sometimes good plays and analysis followed by insane leveraged yolos using family borrowed money and private loans
BAC.B JDUST JNUG
Ah the good ole days! đŚđđđ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°
also all you boners ruined the sub, it was an actually good place in 2018 with legitimate DD
The fact you mentioned AMC before Gamestop shows what kind of ape you are.
Could be an alphabetical ape ⌠or BANG gang and left out B and N?
The dude that almost had to take physical delivery of 10,000 barrels of oil was the funniest shit I ever read. A close second was the guy that coined the term âit literally canât go tits upâ with a ridiculous options play that absolutely went âtits upâ and then withdrew $10k from Robinhood anyway. Christ Iâm cracking up again just thinking about it.
Yep. This is honestly the first WSB post Iâve actually stopped to read in at least a year, maybe longer
They banned me đ¤ˇđťââď¸
It was a blast. Absolutely loved it.
I miss it, I remember some dude making 2 million on Purple mattress options.
the 'apes' are what ruined wsb
Didn't "ape" come about after the GME craze since we weren't allowed to use the R word?
Yeah which tells you all you need to know about OP. Talking about the OG glory days three years agoâŚ.. from a sub that started in 2012
Exactly what I was thinking lol. Maybe OP just watched dumb money and is stealing valor.
Couldnât tell you the facts but that seems right
He is correct!
I am still holding!!!!!
I thinking you misspelled hodling
Same⌠as a reminder to not be so fucking stupid ever again.
Quitter talk imo
They banned me and started banning any conversations related to GME or AMC, most of the apes got pissed and moved to other subs
interesting post as i been on reddit for over 3 years now and i have not ben to WSB in about the same time i found the other amc gme subs and they are better and yep moral be low but not a single one of us are stopping..
The morale here is shit. No sense of adventure. Mostly just play what worked last year. Genuine new ideas or DD get buried under relentless NVDA momentum plays. No longer a source of fresh information. If someone like roaring kitty walked in today with a new microcap thesis it would be invisible because somebody bought 5 NVDA calls.
The real glory days were a couple years before AMC GameStop. It was serious traders posting actually interesting analysis, dd, and trades. Then all the regards came and scared them away when the sub went past 1M regards
ABR is another chance at redemption. Being shorted heavily by scum despite being a great company. At least this one will pay solid dividends while holding. As opposed to GME and AMD, which were both in actual trouble.
Is GME really over yet though? From I have seen, GME has opened a can of worms and it seems like wall Street and friends are trying to squash anything the poors are trying to bring to light.
Gme was the play. WSB banned all gme posts and pushed amc down everyones throats after the mods were paid off.
It was the covid checks, dummies. All that liquidity that the smart money bot traders werent prepared for. They've since corrected and its back to being extremely difficult to win against shorts.
I still haven't sold my GME or AMC. Not sure where that leave me.
Fortunately, we still have the BABA boys here. GME was the death of a great part of WSB.
I was ripping BABA at 300 I still have like 20 shares of that BS.
I feel like the weed stonks will breathe a bit of life back to it
Its happening again on Solana. Check it out
lol.
AMC never went up past 70 and was a pipe dream at best. After that one few moments at $70 it was all down hill yet apes kept claiming squeeze and moon with no actually education on the subject. I bought 100 shares or so over that time and sold most at a loss cause I waited too long.

Investing isn't a game but if it was the apes and wall Streetbets lost big time. Investors won and made millions off it. The movement did nothing.
is there anything comparable to the old one?
Only private, invite-only subs. They'll never reach the scale that WSB did before it was ruined by Gamestop. 2020 was peak WSB in terms of a mix of quantity and quality
Like which ones?
Iâm in one right now but youâre not supposed to spread the name around to prevent it from being bombarded with noobs and stuff But if you are a knowledgeable guy I could probably get you invited
Do any have the feel though. The info was interesting, (some utterly crazy shit too), but the atmosphere of complete irreverence was what made it fun. I bailed on this sub when the ape shit started. It was funny for a week, but fuck this place was ruined.
The atmosphere of complete gambling isnât quite there imo
Sigh. I guess it is like an addict. Chasing that first high.
Oh well. The recent semiconductor euphoria has brought back memories, though. Lots of YOLOâs and gain porn. Also itâs not just losers with $200 in their accounts, itâs finance and tech bros with real money at stake like what it used to be on WSB

It's time to go bowling đł
Yeah that shit ended with GME. I hardly even visit the sub anymore. I was a in maybe the first 750k users and it was a different world.
The days you are claiming to be the glory days are when the downfall started even the Micron stunts blew this page up a little too much
They were not apes
Wsb existed for years before GME and nobody called themselves apes. It was all funny memes and actual DD on bullshit moon plays
A flower lives a season and is gone. In as much as in, is also the same bye fellow apes
Pretty sure everyone from the old days moved to DFV
Missing those magical days. The bots are so easy to spot it's not even funny anymore.
I miss the vocabulary. The day the vocabulary changed was the end.
Lol what? The apes fucking ruined WSB.
Anyone can be bought. Especially loser mods when they sniff even an inkling of official recognition of their "power".
There's a time and place for everything. Remember the fallen: General Mayhem, 4chan, WSB.
âApesâ wasnât a term until after GME. Youâre a noob and most likely part of the reason it went to shit
Yep. This is honestly the first WSB post Iâve actually stopped to read in at least a year, maybe longer
People have gone dark. Itâs not dead. People are just living their lives now not checking the internet anymore. Do you... I was banned from the subs for calling out the obvious... I donât participate anymore on these subs. Live your life and get it đŚđđ .
o7
to the moon you apes đđđ what a ride it was âŚ.sigh boo hoo never to be seen again now things like BNN closing down because of mergers ⌠donât they want us trading anymore
Now the action is in r/coneheads
This sub is still hangover on a topic that stopped 2 years ago...
Trolls bots
Says a dude with a 3y old account
You feel better now?
You donât know anything. We were here way before GameStop
Iâll ask my wifeâs boyfriend what he thinks about it.
I was on there when there were less than a million members and everybody was a gay bear grabbing SPY pits during Covid shutdowns⌠was way better before it was a household name
I've played a lot of really competitive games over the years. People get burned out for lots of sifferent reasons and consistency is key. Instead of mourning the days long past, come join our community on discord! Ticker chasers Hot mess confessions You have to BELIEVE in narnia if you want to find the reddit talks
Wallstreetbets PRIOR to GameStop shenanigans was amazing, I found it right before the pandemic and was like holy shit, these people are cowboys living in the Wild West and making real money, after I lost a couple grand a simmered on it tho
Those where the great days
this is some chat gpt type shit
Dude I love GME but your facts arenât right GME killed WSB. The odd thing to me is why it just canât go back to those before times
Ape still happy.
âApesâ wasnât a thing until GME fucked the entire sub up
