Over the course of many months, we've gotten to know one of the most interesting communities on the internet - one focussed on large-scale global corruption, an opportunity for immense wealth, and the importance of one man...
While some of its members believe they could change the world, critics view them as a cult, damaging not only their own lives but those of their families and loved ones.
At the centre of it all? One unremarkable retail store.
In our most ambitious project yet, I've spoken to participants, critics, and experts in an attempt to answer one question: what is going on with GameStop?

@@irieite9666 Their current plan is to accumulate and use DRS (Direct Registration System) to prove ownership over 100% of the shares. This removes control from brokerages over their shares. They currently have about 25% of the shares under direct registration, and financial institutions hold about 22%. Ryan Cohen holds about 12%.

[@ivydune4185]

I wouldn't discard the possibility that these investors were screwed by big powerful people. I don't understand anything about stock market except that it is a casino for very powerful people to play, make money without working and play around with our lives, making fictitious value. And they saw they were actually being screwed, that some "kids" were trying to sabotage their game so they fucked them up. They call the shots. Not "kids". There is no logic at all in one app suddenly shutting down a "buy" button for a specific company. And the rest of the story has a lot of traits of classic propaganda war: assassination of character, calling investors "conspiracy lunatics" and mocking them and adding a target, the god of lunacy, in this case a guy called Cohen.. The arrogance of that woman "Hanna" is so typical of propaganda assets. By calling them dumb, crazy, blind, engaging in cults and dangerous craziness, and blocking their easy access to buying, the very powerful people stopped the movement.

[@lancetheradioactive9034]

I mean, there is a very easy logic in that shutdown. (Also, it wasn't one app, see testimony like half a dozen comments up) The logic is as follows: you have accounts that can operate on your money while their money is being processed by the system. You also have a limited reserve of that money. Problem: Those accounts suddenly flood, en masse, into a stock at $100-$200, expecting it to go "to the moon". Your limited reserve is all of a sudden very drained, and so the rampant run on that stock is putting all other operations in danger. Solution: temporarily disable the buying of the problematic stock and desperately try (and somewhat fail) to cover up the liquidity crunch. Simple as.

[@XanthinZarda]

Here's the thing: A lot of the simians were right for the wrong reasons. Yes, there is corruption in the system, but investing in an irrelevant game pawn shop wasn't the solution. Yes, the buy button was turned off, but there was no foul play. It was called, "Your dumb brokerage might run out of money if you clowns keep up." or "The entire market might freeze if you clowns keep this up". Yes, Gamestop is debt free, but how did they reach that point? Though slashing employee benefits like tyres and closing stores like there's no tomorrow. Bad for long term plans, that.

[@NickyBlue99]

That isn't how the stock market works tho. A lot of pensions and normal people's money is held up in hedge funds and whatnot. It's not like only rich people use the stock market. Money just doesn't appear out of nowhere on the stock market either. It's not like making money for nothing.

@@Zolet_lionheart I heard a story how it really came to be. WSB gamblers and the newcomers who eventually splintered into superstonk used to call themselves r-words and they developed an insular culture of extreme recklessness spiced up with very incendiary, self deprecating language. At some point those communities had grown too much too fast and it has become somewhat apparent that using such offensive words was no longer politically viable (and I also heard that was because reddit which was preparing for public offering wanted their more popular communities to be less toxic, and ease up on the slurs optically speaking but idk how true it is) but the language changed over time. Original WSB degens who isolated themselves from the meme stock groups now call themselves "regards" while meme stock cults almost universally switched to "apes" invoking imagery and phrases from planet of the apes like "apes together strong".

[@irieite9666]

I dont know how it began but i renember at the height of the GME stock price they were posting videos and quotes of the movie "Starship Troopers" "do you apes want to live forever" "im doing my part" etc

[@phillyvoodoo]

In the modern age stocks how far divorce from the companies that they are attached to and bound by...... Stocks are for the wealth of the shareholders and not for the health of the companies... That's why you see in many cases a stock can be an all-time high weeks before the company's failure......

The fact they ever believed a short squeeze would be allowed to get so out of control hilarious. The markets would halt trading if the price were to somehow balloon like that to cool the market. On top of that, the stock lenders would sooner settle for compensation less than the inflated price, as they know the stock isn't actually worth that much. It's just basics...

I've seen alot of the apes liken it to literally a video game exploit. Since that's probably where alot of their life experience is. They know npcs in games will just hand you infinite money when you do the exploit. Doesn't help a ton of apes believe that conspiracy that most people are literally unthinking npcs. So I wouldn't be surprised if they straight up believe the stock market just won't give them the money. They found the exploit. The npcs need to give them the money. That's the end of the thinking

He reaffirmed that the original pitch for GameStop's turnaround hasn't changed and that he upped his GameStop position substantially.

[@MK-dv3xr]

4/16/21 his last yolo update was $34 mil of GME shares … 6/2/24 hes got $210 mil of stock options and shares … 6/13/24 hes got $268 mil of shares @ $23.41 avg. I won’t even bother trying to unpack the tweet stormz.

[@MK-dv3xr]

$586 mil was his highest update this year, but he had ~ a billion in shares and options near the peak. In any case, he had 200k shares in 2021 * 4 stock split, and ended with 9,000,100 in 2024. He increased his position by an order of magnitude. Also a fun little easter eggs he ended with how many shares RC bought of GME originally.

[@svfrey7]

​@@MK-dv3xryeah, another fun little easter egg was how he dumped his entire GME position out of spite to buy the exact same number of shares of Chewy, Cohen's former company, after Cohen massively diluted during the GME pump back in May/June, killing all momentum. Maybe your glorious leader RC isn't on your side after all.

[@stephenward6986]

@@dmlifegains50that’s because you don’t do DD you do hype posts to get people to buy more. The $80 spike was entirely because roaring kitty wanted to make a few hundred million and good for him. The future of GME isn’t all doom and gloom, they could actually buy a profitable business but the GameStop part of the company is an albatross that just loses so much money even when cut to the bone. Best case for GME is that the profitable business they buy isn’t choked by the culture of the company. Why would you buy more than one share if they are going to be worth infinite money?

[@mikekuhlman8009]

This is my big gripe - no mention of DRS. He even mistakenly said that "available shares" was 70 million. That's not the public float, that's DRS'd shares. There's still a part II on the way, so I'll reserve judgement for now.
