That's true, but I think watching it and acting on it are very different things, just as in the case with other social media. For example, I subscribe to WSB, but I also don't do risky trades except with small amounts of "fun money", I have triple digit thousands invested in index funds.

Being a subscriber is not the same as being an active participant in the underlying behavior. I watch it mostly out of schadenfreude (which might mean I'm not a very nice person, but there it is).
