has GME become a legit cult or are yall just being super ironic or something?
members of this Lemmy instance are investors of GameStop, and more specifically investors here advocate that all investors benefit from directly registering their shares. By directly registering shares of a company that you paid for, you get genuine share ownership. If shares that you paid for are not directly registered but instead held in a brokerage account, those shares are not actually owned by you, they are owned by Cede & Co, the central depository of the Depository Trust Company.
Due to the high stakes nature of the situation surrounding GameStop, investors of GME and advocates of DRS have faced and continue to face persistent antagonism and opposition from many directions, because investing in GME and directly registering shares is against the interests of certain incumbent institutions that have a vested financial interest in GameStop's demise.
For this reason, it is to the benefit of those that oppose GameStop's success that people would view GameStop investors as nothing but rabid cultists, and not as legitimate investors of a legitimate company. It is why they use words like "meme stock". It is why they say things like "Sell the stock first, ask questions later".
Members of this Lemmy instance have been facing issues on Reddit and so we are now here using Lemmy.
