      i think wallstreetbets used to have a tag that said "it's as if 4chan found access to a bloomberg terminal" but otherwise no

      /biz/ has been talking about $GME for awhile, but not particularly any more than WSB as far as I can tell. Considering they're dramatically smaller than WSB and obviously didn't kick this off, the best you can say about them is that they rode along behind them. If you can point to any one person most responsible for this, it's probably DeepFuckingValue on WSB who has been banging the $GME drum (which I imagine to be resold & overpriced DK Jungle Beat controller) for a year.

      There were even a variety of comments on /biz/ to the tune of "maybe Reddit isn't so bad after all?" but with the reason of course being "because they're screwing the jews!" /pol/ and /biz/ are convinced this is going to redpill normies on antisemitism, but it seems most of the posts I've seen are either just going "wow everyone across the political spectrum hates Wall Street!" to a bunch of AOC and Rashida tweets being upvoted. Not much in the way of people being excited that Ben Shapiro or Ted Cruz pretended to care about stopping greed on Wall Street.

        dude I browse /biz/.

        /biz/ is a fucking shithole. It's actually the second-worst board on 4chan, after /ck/.

        No, they had absolutely nothing to do with GME and just jumped on the bandwagon 2 days ago. It was all reddit (I hate reddit but you gotta give props where due)
