And I sincerely hope anyone that invests in Reddit loses everything they put into it. The company deserves to die for the bullshit they did last year. It’s past time to move on.

Every big IPO like this goes up like crazy at first... In this case I predict it will fall quickly afterwards.
There's money to be made though

Well I checked back. I also went to wipe the last bits of posts from a couple accounts. Soon as the scripts got done running...

Uh oh! We have suspended your account due to suspicious activity.

Have we tried pulling a Twitter on this shit and seeing how many ads come up next to controversial Concepts yet?

I don't think it would take many of them to take this motherfucker

Do not do this unless you're prepared to lose money

Exactly. Shorting is way riskier than people think. If I bought a stock for $10, the most I can lose is $10; if I short a $10 stock and the stock booms, there is no theoretical limit to how much I could lose, because at the end of the day I would be required to buy that stock even if it went up 1000000%.

The only reason some groups can afford to short stocks is because they expect government bailout if they screw up.

They filed for IPO in December 2021. Its taken them THIS long. The competent management didn't leave the building, they were never there.

Tumblrfication in 24 months time. Trying to pump it for profit will see the bottom fall out; we've watched it happen dozens of times before
