Great post, Anuj. Meme stocks are an interesting phenomenon. Prior to the popularity of /wallstreetbets (wsb), Robinhood, and lower-cost trades as you mention, I did see a lot of meme-like manias on Seeking Alpha, where it's mostly a middle-aged and older crowd. But, it mostly took the form of spirited back and forth comments and bragging, lacking the visual effect. It's been interesting to see how generations that think in memes have taken the baton and have made this space so entertaining. r/pennystocks is another place to find great meme stocks.

The recent Bill Gates and Warren Buffett memes/videos on wsb have been among my favorite.
