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.

You nailed it there, it's similar to targeted ads for me. I actually do like targeted ads because they might show me stuff I'm actually interested in or new products/new media in my wheelhouse. It's just that a lot of people can't help themselves and buy what they see on ads, I usually just use it as a jumping off point to do research into whatever product. I prefer seeing ads for games than for diapers.
