One big bully decided on a target looked to profit from it. The townsfolk in the hundreds of thousands decided to rape his ass in turn by chipping in some spare change. They might not know if they'll get their spare change back but they got good entertainment seeing the bully get sodomized.

There will be a concerted effort by the media to demonize the buyers. CNBC and gang also constantly on top of every outlet to cover this (with biased reporting and opinions).

Hahaha, the genius who thought of the plan "hey, why not just short it till the price is $0 so we don't have to pay anything at all?" deserves to be a case study of wall street idiots in school textbooks.

E-Toro even forced stop losses on GME holders. Lol... All criminals working together.

Tl;dr version:

Mods who have been actively taking care of the subreddit and took it to where it is now had their rights revoked by users who came back after years of inactivity. Most likely money motivated. One of the earliest founders, who everyone knows is an asshole that did the same thing before getting oystered, managed to sell his story to the movies for (low side) of six figures despite contributing hardly anything to what led to wallstreetbets taking on wallstreet, prompting interested original mods to come back to profit off the market moving sub. Other mods are voluntarily stepping down as new accounts have been added to moderate the subreddit. There is speculation the new group of previously inactive mods and newly added ones are linked to hedge funds. All this has led to users leaving and joining off-subs.
