The GameStop stock craze was a breakthrough for Reddit, illustrating the platform's ability to inspire viral trends that defy conventional market logic.
GameStop's rise was a mix of financial frenzy and social movement; investors viewed themselves as part of a grassroots battle against monopolistic Wall Street practices.
The dynamic of GameStop's fandom transitioned from being driven by motivation for equity in finance to becoming entrenched in obsession and conspiracy.
As GameStop's stock price fell, the subreddit r/WallStreetBets transformed from a source of inspiration to a site of fervent irrationality among its devoted followers.
