2021: a Reddit short squeeze kept GameStop from going under. 2026: GameStop is bidding $55B for eBay, a company 4x its size. If it lands, this might be the strangest full circle moment public markets have ever produced.

Is it still riding the meme stock wave or has GameStop made a turnaround?

I believe it is still a meme stock in the dark, "lose money quickly" corners of the internet.

		Who would down vote this? It’s true. Can people here really not keep their emotions in check enough to admit clearly obvious facts?

Another interesting observation to me is not that Gamestop was able to go from this full circle moment but rather the fact that Reddit has such influence that it was able to create the conditions which led here.

If Gamestop is the king, then reddit was the king-maker.
