    TLDR:

    Again, I recognize my own bias here, but I cannot shake the suspicion that the creator of this video is for some reason deliberately antagonistic towards GME investors for reasons other than that he believes we are members of a delusional financial death cult. From the parts that I’ve watched, it feels like the video was crafted by the same forces that oppose us in traditional financial media such as CNBC. it is a video that paints a picture that conveniently makes GME investors look as insane as possible, completely glosses over relevant details, misrepresents the view of GME investors, and provides a smoke screen for any financial incumbents that really have committed any crimes related to this saga.

    To me this video feels like a well-crafted precision missile aimed directly at all of the rhetorical places that matter the most to those parties that oppose the success of GameStop. The video is too well informed and simultaneously biased and inaccurate to have been something created out of genuine curiosity and fairness.

      Exactly, I just like the stock.
