So basically a bunch of redditors decided to fuck around, unionized, and bought a bunch of Gamestop stock. This gave impressions it would do well, which caused other people to buy it and then more people to buy it, which drove the price higher and higher (from like $20 to $162 a share).
But there are lots of rich people and hedge funds who bet against Gamestop (pandemic and online downloads) and didn't account for redditors with a little bit of individual money unionizing and fucking around with them and their money, so the rich people are pissed at the poor people for behaving irresponsibly and making them lose money on their gamble.
(It's fine when the rich unionize and fuck us over, but not when we do it to them.)
