It's both. Because back then, even if you figured out how this worked, you couldn't profit from it, because as an average joe, you couldn't compete with large investors. But now, you can go on the Internet and tell everybody to buy a certain stock and inflate the price as if you were a hedge fund manager. As I said, it's like Bernie competing with establishment candidates with wallstreet donors by crowdsourcing his campaign finances. But just like Dems in the primaries, this is probably end up with the establishment closing ranks and consolidating power. It's still entertaining to look at though :mjlol:
