There’s a youtube channel that exposes a lot of the scummy practices Gamestop uses from the viewpoint of a former manager. He had a recent video where he joined in on a local Gamestop region earnings call. lol. It was pretty entertaining.
Most people I’ve encountered at GameStop have been nice (except for the Uber-fanboys), but the company’s business practices almost make Disney look nice…
Nothing related to the stock market is good. The only thing good coming out of this was wide level public awareness of how scummy every part of Wallstreet is and hopefully the public memory lasts more then 54 seconds this time.
The awareness of what is going on in the world and what the Gamestop deal actually IS seems to be beyond the understanding of most people replying, lol.
“Derrrr, Gamestop store in my mall isn’t that good.”
Anyway, yes, OP, I, too, enjoyed the crowdsourced hosing of hedge funds. It was an awesome way to demonstrate some of the stupidities of the stock market.
To many scary stories from people who worked at Gamestop. Reminded me of working at Sears years ago where they cared more about selling product protection plans then actual merchandise…hic!
This is a good thing, though it seems to be rather than proving that most people are good it’s just the internet being the internet.
The internet is a chaotic place that doesn’t care and will throw away a few hundred dollars each to watch billion dollar hedge funds crash because “haha numbers go brrr”.
The internet is also a chaotic place that will send you death threats because you delayed the video game they wanted to play.
