If you looking for a degnerate alternative to WSB, consider signing up to wallstreets.bet.

I dont think reddit survive this and I sure as sheet dont think they'll allow subs like wsb to persist.

The end coming through with a bang.

I don't get it; why would they not allow WSB, potentially one of their biggest moneymakers, to persist?

[-] fomo_erotic@wallstreets.bet 1 points 1 year ago

Because WSB is a den of debauchery and trouble making. Its had direct and indirect impacts on markets. It also drinks piss and monitors where dogs shit as a market indicator. Its not something a publically traded company can really be associated with.

It has real market-affecting power, so that's power to them, publicly traded or not. They probably get deals with/money from high-frequency traders using the data. I don't believe they would axe it. /r/wallstreetbets is still going strong.
