    I don’t get it; why would they not allow WSB, potentially one of their biggest moneymakers, to persist?

      Because WSB is a den of debauchery and trouble making. Its had direct and indirect impacts on markets. It also drinks piss and monitors where dogs shit as a market indicator. Its not something a publically traded company can really be associated with.

        It has real market-affecting power, so that’s power to them, publicly traded or not. They probably get deals with/money from high-frequency traders using the data. I don’t believe they would axe it. /r/wallstreetbets is still going strong.

          Need a remind me bot.

          I’m making a called shot. Once reddit goes public, /r/wallstreetbets is gone.

          Its still gonna be on the lemmyverse though: wallstreets.bet

            Okay, sure. I’m not confident enough to bet on it, but I’d be interested in seeing what happens.
