Bit of an odd one before bed tonight:
âRedditâs Profane, Greedy traders are shaking up the stock market.â
Really entertaining the way they describe reddit as a
âDingy Corner of the Internetâ
and that the Subreddit is
âsoaked in profanity and bro-speakâ.
This paragraph thoughâŚ
Twenty years later, one thing thatâs changed is the nomenclature. Itâs frequently both juvenile and objectionable. For Redditâs band of self-styled âautistsââa term of endearment, relatively speaking, that crudely leans into stereotypes surrounding extremely online peopleâthe chief prize is âtendiesâ (chicken tenders, the treat an overgrown man-child receives for being a âGood Boyâ). Figuratively speaking, tendies are the financial rewards that follow from a successful bold wager. Bears are usually referred to in homophobic terms.
Going as far as to claim wsb chatter raises prices on stocks.
A pretty funny read, especially these bits:
After user SolTrainRnsOnHolGran wondered whether r/WSBâs activities might constitute insider trading, a user named recentlyunearthed replied, âHow can we have insider knowledge when we donât have any knowledge?â
âThis sub is a travesty,â wrote user Deftech1, complaining about the influx of those looking forâor pushingâget-rich-quick schemes. âCan we just go back to losing inordinate amounts of money?â
