Why has nobody ever replicated the Game Stop hype on a good, sustainable, ethical company?
Honestly believing that a company is truly good and that it should be worth more than it is now, and communicating this to a wide audience driving the stock price up is not illegal/market manipulation. Or is it? This was the case of Game Stop back in the day.
Why has nobody ever replicated this but doing a poll online, to choose a small company that is truly sustainable and ethical, driving it’s price up?
The goal is not to be millionaires guys, we only want a better world. So we don’t want to skyrocket the price and generate market instability, only move it significantly, to show the world that good things can be done if we team up. If the stock starts skyrocketing, more stocks can be added to the poll so people can start diversifying, and in an utopic world we would push big corps to become more ethical to be part of this trend. The ones that don’t evolve will fail.
If non-sense trends can happen online like the Tim Payne one in the current 2026 Football World Cup, why can’t people create a good trend with real impact once and for all?
We’re living in a crazy world, with climate change, over-consumerism, poverty, wars and hunger, to name a few. Many of us know that the main drivers of all these issues are the poor bastards that only want power and profit in their lives, because they have nothing else than material stuff :(
Why hasn’t this happened before? What am I missing?
I’m keen to gear the thoughts of this community on philosophy, ethics, economics and environmentalism.
