Reddit stopped rogue r/WallStreetBets mods from taking up the community

But that increased attention has also put strain on the r/WallStreetBets community itself, forcing Reddit to step in to assist sort things out.


The trouble started Wednesday night, consistent with The ny Times, as some r/WallStreetBets moderators talked with one another about trying to urge a movie deal. On Thursday morning, “the WallStreetBets moderators who were considering the film deal began booting out other moderators who had questioned them for secretly trying to take advantage of the forum’s success,” reports The ny Times. A highly upvoted r/WallStreetBets post called things “a coup,” saying the moderators the community “know and love” were being tossed out.
