A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

I don’t get why, if these people hate Reddit so much and they want the IPO to fail, why are they still using the platform?

Why do people still use Xwitter even though that entire platform has become a wasteland of bigots, assholes, and authoritarians?

... Work? That's the only good reason I can think of. People use X and reddit for very different reasons. The platforms aren't similar at all.
