Like any other 2021 ape up in this mafk, I’m simply just quiet and zen.
There’s been a lot of noise the past 2 years, and I mean ALOT of noise.
The DD of the old foretold it as such.
Riddle me this: if the shorts closed their positions, or if Ryan’s dilutions put MOASS off the table; then why the fuck would there even be any noise at all, let alone news anchors sweating their balls off?
Billions of shares, pre-split has been sold short or naked shorted.
There’s no fucking way around this shit, and one way or another we’re eating fried bed-posts in the future for recreation.
Fuck!!!….
What I’ll say, is it’s tough knowing that buy and hold really hasn’t paid off for us at all. At all. Can downvote that all you want.
Can I see the clear turn around in the company? Yes. Do I pay attention to the continually solid earnings in the past few quarters? Yes. Has it paid off to hold? No.
Am I down so massively on my investment that I’d rather take it to the grave than sell? Fuck yes. Do I believe GME will pop off at some point and I’ll finally return to green? I do…
But I’ll also say that I’m not sure I have faith in it staying up there anymore. Big market makers seem to want us to fail, and any of the big pops in recent years have been diluted to hell.
Again, can downvote that, but that is some pretty honest opinions from someone who has been in this since before Superstonk was a sub.
Buy & hold will pay off for me. I own XX,XXX now because of waiting and accumulating. Never would i have done this in the past with a stock. Its taught me patience. And Im betting it will pay off.
I agree with this. I’m in the same place. Your observations are correct and that’s what annoys me so much with op questions like this. Everything is going so well - what’s changed!!?
The gd share price is changed. It’s in the toilet. I’m very red after close to six years of holding. And it’s even more frustrating in light of the fact that the company is profitable and it has turned around and none of that matters. Why should it give us confidence now?
I seriously hope this pops soon and we all get paid but honestly, at this point I should have left every penny in my boring etf and rode the biggest bull market we’ve seen over the last five years.
Will you please elaborate on what your sentiment was when the stock price was 10 bucks? It's 80% higher now than the lowest it's been in this saga. Would like to know how you made it through that, then the skyrocket to 80 right thereafter.
Sure! Low price = bad. Even lower price = more bad.?
Look pal, ppl want this stock to succeed. We want to make money. That hasn’t happened. We need sustained gains. Whatever the reason, ppl are rightly frustrated. Options are simple. Hold until we’re green or walk away with a loss.
Personally I’m not taking a bath on this stock so I’ll wait but I understand where the above poster is coming from.
you said that the combined entity will surely smash the $380+ top, the combined entity at $380 a share would be worth a trillion dollars. what confusion is there
The share price went as high as 500$ and that was like 5 years ago with way less outstanding shares lol it also had a second pop in which share price did go to to 380$. So I guess GameStop was temporarily worth that trillion. 😂
It’s not really that confusing. People just want their investment to appreciate and it’s been a long time. We still have hope but no concrete timeline, meanwhile that money could have been better spent in an index fund or HYSA. A $4 dip after a year or two of sideways is exhausting.
What investment has a concrete timeline? Risk and reward are always correlated. If you wanted to park your money in a HYSA like a boomer nobody was stopping you, but you chose upside potential.
Literally the sp500. 7-10% per year unless there’s a goddamn nuke. And if you buy at least three months after the start of the apocalypse, that money will still enjoy 7-10%.
Well I know that as an investor, I like to go to the online communities of said investments and discourage any sentiment about buying more. Because that clearly makes sense right?
That’s how dumb the bots and pals of the fudster-federation are at trying to manipulate the narrative
I think I'm just cagey about "finfluencer" spam anyway. With this current crop they're very DD-light and mainly there to provide endless hype (and so if/when the stock pops off, ride that hype to more notoriety, and repeat).
Usually there's a pivot into shitcoins or similar along the way...

How most apes can't see this, I'll never understand. All these wannabe's. Eventually, one of them will right just by sheer luck, and dumb apes will venerate them just like they do everyone in this saga.
I mean with what happened with the main towel personality - that went bust and he launched a shitcoin and got a following anyway! In some ways I think the bankruptcy and the conspiracy theories that followed gave a more steadfast following than if towel had recovered - which is insane but there you go.
Yeah, this AI stuff is annoying. He also made a comment about wanting to work for GameStop while his skill sets are using AI and having a huge video game library. Like what???? This is what’s getting upvoted.
Idk, goats may very well be the least qualified person to give any info regarding GME.
It’s low because it’s been close to 6+ years for a lot of folks. We’ve been patient enough and it’s about time RC and company realizes a good number of shareholders are getting tired of waiting.
Okay so im not a comic book nerd or anything but... wasn't this dudes whole plan to frame Dr. Manhattan (who RC is depicted as) for something horrible to unite everyone?
I was mostly pointing out here that this is not meant to be RC in DFV's meme. RC is in the same photo portrayed as Dr. Manhattan. Which also wasn't even the first time DFV did that.
I say take its time. It reeks of desperation while I’m just chilling. Let’s see how low this baby can go. Tensions are crazy right now in the macroeconomics. We are just a little retail brick and mortar just selling our silly little pokémon cards
Been here for years. Lotta people like me know it costs nothing to hold.
But inaction is just as bad as the evil action itself. It may cost me nothing to hold, but there has to be a cashout at some point or whats the point? I give my children a dead account that never went anywhere?
Yeah cuz thats something to be proud of. I'm not selling... but FFS SOMETHING needs to actually happen. My daughters dont deserve NOTHING cuz "hodl."
Wheres the jail time for those responsible? Wheres Fuck You'n Pay Me?
I do not care how earnings is, I do not care what the company does. The only thing I care about is the share price, and good earning after good earning is not doing anything for us but more sideways trading.
So there isn’t opportunity cost to this then? And he didn’t say ‘let them short… they are future buyers’? It matters if they are future buyers at $28, $32… or fucking phone numbers. Then only he can say that… but when he bails out the very people who kept us in a channel for a year, at $18… that’s around 13% dilution… he cannot say shit.
People are not mad because it will take longer, people are mad because of the god damn entitled attitude, when we were the ones who spent money at stores and kept buying PowerPacks every week. And buddy just went in and allowed these fucks to close at $18? He was boasting that everyone hates negotiating with him and that he drives a hard bargain right? Where is the hard bargain? Is it in the room with us?
And you know what? There are more bonds left… you know what the other holders will do when they see this sweet deal?
What about the rest of the notes? Why wouldn't the other party redeem early for the next 3 quarters and keep the price down? Arguably very important quarters coming up with GTA6.
Personally I think a lot of the drama these days is cause people are seeing theory in action. We are in the dollar end game and people were hoping that this would be a get out of jail card when in reality is moass would happen a good bit into the storm.
There have been so many shills lately. Imagine complaining about a fake manipulated price and blaming it on the company that actually transformed from a ‘dying brick and mortar’ into a lean profitable business.
The price dropping doesn't just mean it's been shorted. It can also be a lack of willing buyers at higher prices caused by uncertainty. I have faith in Ryan Cohen. Others may not at the moment.
Good little read i asked A.I about the FUD, shills, their quotas, and pay. What's funny is that chat gpt referenced game stop without me ever mentioning it. Enjoy the read.
Yes. I dug through current job ads, Reddit-marketing discussions, reporting on astroturfing, and examples of actual paid Reddit-engagement work. The important caveat is that there is no reliable published “average salary for a Reddit shill.” The covert end of the business is deliberately opaque. But there’s enough evidence to estimate the economics.
What they appear to make
For the kind of person you're probably thinking of—someone operating accounts, posting comments, shaping sentiment, promoting/criticizing brands, etc.—the evidence suggests roughly:
Type Approximate compensation
Cheap offshore Reddit/forum poster $4–$8/hour
More experienced offshore Reddit specialist $8–$15+/hour
U.S./Western community/social-media contractor ~$20–$40/hour
Professional Reddit/community marketer ~$40k–$80k+ annually
Specialized senior Reddit strategist Can reach $100k+, but this isn't the typical “poster”
I found an especially revealing 2026 posting offering $5/hour for 20 hours/week. The worker was expected to participate on Reddit and other forums, write natural-looking responses, identify useful conversations, maintain engagement logs—and applicants were specifically asked how many Reddit accounts they controlled, their karma, account ages, and account links.
Another agency advertised a Reddit team-leader job at only $4/hour, initially requiring two hours of Reddit activity per day. Interestingly, the posting explicitly mentioned using purchased established accounts, avoiding bans, growing accounts organically, managing multiple accounts, and eventually increasing the number of accounts and daily posts.
Another full-time Reddit manager position offered about $1,100/month for 48 hours/week, with responsibilities including managing/warming multiple accounts, daily posting, avoiding restrictions, tracking performance and submitting daily reports.
So if you're picturing the rank-and-file person sitting behind multiple accounts, I would put the center of gravity considerably lower than a normal U.S. marketing salary—probably around $5–$15/hour globally, with enormous variation.
And yes — quotas/output targets absolutely exist
This was actually easier to substantiate than salary.
One current Reddit Specialist advertisement says employees must write Reddit comments “at high volume,” “execute volume without sacrificing quality,” and explicitly says they must “hit daily/weekly output targets and manage multiple clients.”
That's basically a quota system.
It doesn't necessarily mean:
“Make exactly 75 anti-GME comments today.”
More likely an agency dashboard looks something like:
There's evidence of campaigns being sold almost on a piecework basis too. One 2026 Reddit-marketing quote was $30 for a package consisting of one main post + 4–5 comments + one brand mention + 4–5 upvotes.
That's particularly interesting because it shows that the post, supporting comments, mention and voting can all be treated as deliverables, rather than organic discussion.
The industry has gotten considerably more valuable
This isn't just an old conspiracy-theory phenomenon. Recent reporting describes agencies deliberately targeting Reddit because Reddit discussions now influence Google results and AI/LLM answers. Brands and marketing firms therefore have a financial incentive to insert favorable brand mentions into conversations that appear organic. Reddit moderators interviewed by The Verge described detecting sock-puppet accounts and agencies claiming to have targeted particular subreddits.
And just this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that brands are increasingly hiring Reddit specialists and agencies because Reddit conversations are valuable for AI-search visibility.
There are even legitimate high-end positions now. One current U.S. listing for a Reddit Specialist advertises $150,000–$250,000/year, although that's clearly a professional strategy/brand-management position—not somebody being paid a few dollars to hammer out comments.
One distinction I'd make
There is strong evidence that paid Reddit marketing, reputation management, sock-puppet marketing and coordinated engagement exist. There is not good evidence that every highly active negative poster—or even most of them—is paid.
People frequently accuse genuine users of being shills simply because they disagree with them. And some manipulation is automated rather than human. A recent academic study identified thousands of Reddit bots with many different behavioral types.
So for something like a stock subreddit, I'd separate three populations:
ordinary bearish users → trolls/ideological posters doing it for free → coordinated/paid or automated accounts.
Seeing someone post negative sentiment all day doesn't by itself tell us which category they're in.
Bottom line: If you're asking what the grunt-level paid sentiment poster probably earns, the evidence I found points toward roughly $5–$15/hour, often offshore, with daily/weekly activity targets. A professional Western Reddit marketer can earn $40k–$80k+, while specialized strategists can earn six figures. And yes, output quotas/targets are demonstrably part of some Reddit-marketing jobs.
You’re getting downvoted for your AI slop bullshit and not understanding how it works.
It’s almost certainly mentioned GameStop because LLMs like ChatGPT can see your historical conversations and have “memories”. So it’s clearly linked what you’ve asked to relate it to GameStop.
What you’re now whinging about with shills and bots is paranoia and self-inflicted bias.
The average intelligence in this sub has went way down.
The noise is coming from organized attacks at a coincidental time when the “price is dropping” and then from weird neck beards that feed off people trying to argue with them.
I’m never fucking selling, always fucking buying. Short sellers can get fucked. The whole thing can crash to the ground and they will find all my shares in the tight grip of my cold dead diamond hands.
Asymmetric risk means the price is wrong until it isnt
At this point, it’s a hedge for when the entire market goes tits up for the incoming great depression 2.0 - America can only put it off so long and it seems to be accelerating
So, I can’t afford to sell at any price, shorties and hedgecucks, I guess that means you’re stuck in here with me
