There is actually a fantastic video essay about Gamestop bros by Folding Ideas (the guy who made Line Goes Up) called "This is financial advise". I highly recommend listening to it, the whole thing turned out to be way more complicated than it seemed.

Here's the vid in question, I second, it's very good.

Thanks for the suggestion! It was a good video. Also reinforces my belief that the rational, boring narrative is almost always the right one.

I second this recommendation.
