If there's one thing I hate way more than Gamestop as a company is hedge funds.

How do you know this isn't the result of some competing hedge fund trying to execute a short squeeze? And they're buying bot farms to manipulate an investing meme subreddit to help manipulate that stock to do it. And using propaganda like "fight back against the rich hedge funds and the big banks!" to make it seem legitimate.

What do you think is more likely, 100,000 glorified 4chan memers somehow collectively managing to operate as a unified body, or some rich guy figured out how to take advantage of them?
