Clickbait Title: if the price is zero then you can buy all the shares

I tell you what, when you try and tell this story you either sum it up in ten minutes with the broadest strokes or you settle in for a rabbit hole made entirely out of onions and ogres. Conspiracy theorists flock together and constantly try and rope each other into the orbit of their personal hobby horse conspiracy, so once you break the surface suddenly you're digging through endless side stories, each with their own cast of characters, trying to figure out if some tertiary claim is true, was maybe true in the past but is no longer true, or was never true, and discover that the only sources on the matter are the same three people quoting each other in an endless circle of false legitimacy.

Just finished this video yesterday, what an excellent deep dive into something I knew nothing about.

I went to some of the subreddits mentioned to see if any of them posted this video, but it seemed like none did.

Would you be surprised to learn that the mods of those subs deleted the threads and banned Dan?

If you're interested in more memestock material, the man spouting merger conspiracy theories at two Gamestop employees in this video is the subject of an entire video by another creator, which Dan Olson retweeted. I'll warn you, this other video is also funny but much more disturbing. It reminds me of watching Terry Davis's vlog posts as he suffered from schizophrenia, it's definitely more uncomfortable and tragic.

I fear that guys like this will turn to "Forcing The End" as other conspiracy/apocalyptic/cultish groups tend to do.
