Lmfao the best part is, they made a movie about him predicting the absolute shit outta the 08 housing crash. How can you say heās a grifter heās got a movie!
It's because OP has blocked people they've self deemed as "shills". When you block someone their comments still show up, just already collapsed and tagged as a blocked user.
Damn, didnāt know that. Iām unsubbed because sometimes I just like to turn off the noise and hold. Especially when itās flatlined so hard this year.
Nope. Notice it says "Sort by: Best". If they were just comments with negative votes they wouldn't be above a comment with a positive vote score. Negative comments get moved to the bottom when sorted that way.
Isn't that just a header/info panel that stays fixed in place when you scroll down to the bottom of the list where all of the negatively voted comments are?
Doesn't explain why a positive score comment would be below them though. Edit: Plus, the mod comment at the top wouldn't stay there when scrolling to the bottom. OP is literally stating that 11/12 of the "Best" sorted comments, are "shills".
Thatās not true at all, I get those too and they arenāt blocked but hidden by reddit. Happens in every sub reddit, stop talking out of your ass lol
Edit: below this comment I added a screenshot showing that comment was full of shit
I went back to that post, scrolled down to the hidden ones and blocked someone to see how it would appear. The blocked one clearly tells you they are blocked. The others still appear hidden until you click on them.
Love how the shills defend themselves even when it's obvious that the sentiment is immensely artificial, pushed by the same guys who say "this stock is shit", "this investment is boring", "nothing burger" etc
Itās not just here either. Shills on 4chan have been fucking LIVID for the past week or so. It hasnāt been the run of the mill name calling either. Theyāre just straight up saying āfuck youā now lmao. The new captcha there has filtered a lot of the bs noise because you need an iq over 90 to solve it, so that has helped over the last few days. WAGMI, frens. WAGMI
Common theme comments (nothing burger) , old flairs, 5-10 up votes quickly, one reply just agreeing with them and They Never Reply! Mother fuckers are batting 0-200 + I have replied to this year with no response. It's fake and sometimes it weirds me out that we are battling bots but here we are and I ain't no bitch š¤ŗ
Sometimes it's the most upvoted comment in the post. When you answer they start to say "listen I have XXXXXXX shares and I'm here since 2021". But if you really start to talk about what happened in 2021 and the DD, they're gone. Because they don't know what they're talking about, I think they have a script and always have to answer the same thing, and being as negative as possible.
It's fun when they defend themselves because it's not a news that many industries pay people online to say negative or positive stuff about something to sell a product or attack/defend another/their industry.
And you're right about the "nothing burger" keyword, 99% of those spamming it are shills.
Theyāre desperate and scared. Burryās part 2 Iām expecting a buy-in if he hasnāt already bought in. Epstein files last day for release on Friday. I expect the market to turn into a straight falling knife while GME squeezes.
I saw someone being rude and saying they would continue to spam until he answered his questions. I'm not sure if that is the whole reason for paywalling but i wouldn't be surprised if it played a part
The question was the whole 16% short interest and why heās not mentioning naked shorts, no? Correct me if Iām wrong but he can only give public information. He is a big player, not a normal retail trader like you or Iā¦he canāt spread anything that is known to be ārumors / claimsā that are āunverifiable publiclyā he knows what we know but if he says it out loud heād get punished by the SECā¦
Edit: it was reesepolitics on X. Ban by Burry was well deserved. Dude kept pushing for answers we all know yet wants Burry to post about it and get probed by the SEC.
The thing you all don't accept is that burry does not consider all the shorts we talk about to be "naked". He considers them layered. There is a significant difference between the two.
We don't see a difference. We see layered shorts as effectively naked. We see the same share rehypothecated and lent out multiple times as naked. But he does not.
I'm not saying we should agree with him. But we must understand the difference in terminology before we dogpile him and demand answers.
He makes pretty clear in his post that rehypothecated shares are usually not an issue because every short has an associated long, and the system can handle it except when a tremendous flood of buyers of shares and buyers of calls effectively corner the market and make it impossible for real shares to be located.
My suspicion is that the low short interest now is actually because members of the DTCC have stopped borrowing and lending shares to each other in any significant quantities at the DTCC itself. This means that at the DTCC level, short interest is officially low. But they just switched to swaps instead.
The members of the DTCC likely won't lend shares to each other anymore because it's too risky. I imagine that giving another institution access to your shares is now very dangerous. Instead you just engage in swaps based on price, while never letting someone else touch your shares.
Never forget that trading volumes on BRK.A picked up tremendously in February 2021 and took until June 2024 to drop back down. Trading volumes on BRK.A were a few hundred a day before February 2021, then spiked to a few thousand, and then increased continuously until they reached 10,000 to 20,000 in June 2024. Then they settled back to a few thousand until March April 2025 and now are back to a few hundred a day.
In June 2024, teasing volumes on BRK.A were around $9b a day.
The obvious answer is that, while DTCC members wouldn't dare lend each other GME shares, they switched to lending BRK.A shares as collateral. The May 2024 share offering didn't change anything. BRK.A was still being traded at tremendous and even accelerating volume. Only after the June offering did volumes settle back down into the few thousands range.
And finally, after the warrants in 2025, BRK.A volumes settled back to a few hundred per day.
Short interest is low because the dtcc members won't dare to lend to each other.
Final note: BRK.A volume printed 2100 volume on December 5, the first time over 1000 since May.
Yeah I read the drama on x but i was referring to some guy writing in the comment on the substack post, i don't remember his questions exactly just that he was demanding an answer saying he would continue until he got one. I looked through the comments again and it seems to be gone
Just trust your gut and your research. I donāt follow along with grifters and or individuals like Reese that say if X isnāt presented then Burryās info is uselessā¦Reese is highly regarded in my eyes. Not in a good way.
Why do you think the market fall on the epstein files release? Not challenging you just curious. It seems like the market is pretty immune to the crazy goings on with the administration unless it directly effects the bottom line
The uncertainty of the files. No one knows whoās in the filesā¦major bankers, institutions, hedge funds, the current administration, prior administrations, who will get punished, if something big happens prior to the release of the files to try and delay them. Markets donāt like uncertainty. Thereās too much uncertainty regarding the files. On top of that the BOJ is expecting to hike rates either tomorrow or the 19th.
I think he's unarguably a genius investor (in that he is a genius, and also an investor - and by genius I mean a certified genius and not someone who's relatively smart).
If people think he needs our money, or needs subs to inflate his ego, then they're totally delusional. The man needs nothing, if people want to ignore a literal legend then fine but it's a dumb thing to do.
People are sceptical of things they shouldn't be sceptical about on here, and not sceptical about things that they perhaps should be, and it's boring.
I just think heās a non-factor. Iāve been in this long enough to not give two shits about anyoneās opinions outside of RC. Iām ready for this to finally pay off, I really donāt give a shit if someone predicts it, or even ignites it. Pay me.
OK but the mere suggestion of Michael burry grifting is pretty stupid.
This is an intelligent man, a very rich man. A man who made a contrarian bet against main think and didn't blink. A man who whilst doing that didn't seek clout or validity. He made the play and banked the cash. Why does he need my $25? 1000 people subscribing to that wouldn't account for 0.0000001% of his bag from 2008. He doesn't need the fame. He doesn't need fortune. This is somebody telling a story that needs to be heard, and validating the decisions of other investors. Not himself.
Grifter has become the rally call of every shill and moron who parrot it without even questioning the basic premise.
I donāt buy that itās a grift. Scraping peanuts from the peasants via subscriptions isnāt something that would interest me if I were sitting on a vault of them myself.
You can't have nuance here. You either buy into the everything positive and everything bullish cult or you are a shill.
There are people in this very thread claiming that either Burry will buy GME or that he has probably bought in already when his substack post literally called current GameStop a melting ice cube.
I'm almost convinced this is a psyop by the bond holders so they can farm theta at higher valuations.
Sounds like some people also REALLY NEED others to think heās not a grifter too š¤·āāļø.
Hereās the thing about it, Iāll care when he matters. Not before. He doesnāt impact me in the slightest. So to see everyone going off about it, thatās more suspicious to me than skepticism.
I donāt need anyone here to do anything. You all do you.
Burry is obviously a strong character in this saga even if he has only had a limited amount of screen time. I really don't get the hate, that seems like straight shillin for hating on burry. He might not be the catalyst we were hoping for but I think he is helping to bring attention to the company to people who would otherwise not give gme a second look. I have no plans on joining his fan club or whatever he's selling but I hope he keeps talking up gamestop to the users that do.
If you look through my post history I have swung between being positive and negative about the company and the stock in general. Under your reasoning I would be a shill. But you know, normal people can debate about things and blocking people who don't agree with you is not a way you can get balanced discussion
Lets take a look at some of the facts we have for this latest Burry appearance-
-started a subscription service
-the beginning of November said all will be revealed by November 25th.
-oh my bad, all revealed this weekend
-shit, Sunday night
-heres a little bit, sorry about Sunday.
All due respect to the good Dr., if you're going to release a book, do it already.
I mean, he means nothing to me and my situation. That's what I meant. He is just a drop in the bucket, like Jon Stewart, the citadel whistle-blower engineer guy, Dr timbath, the Texas lawyer, and many more. So many have spoken out and it just means nothing.
I'll take the hype, don't care if it's something yes or no. For me it is just chasing dragons and every now and then there is a kitty meming or livestreaming which helps get that high back. Now after 5 years comes Michael Burry and he started it together with the kitty kat.
I wouldnt be surprised if real people thought MB is a grifter - he sounded like one last few weeks. He was so wrong he lost his fund. Im glad he actually made the article tho. Now, I'd appreciate another dip, still got pension funds to unload.
He shut down his fund so he could openly speak about positions rather than having to stay quiet about why heās doing what heās doing. Lmao. Ridiculous to think he was āso wrongā when he made bank on his put positions and is now most likely going to go long again on GME.
Yo, Im happy if that true, but saying "theres a bubble" for years while everything pumps might be considered bad strategy. Then again, Buffet sold it all months ago, so, what do I know?

Exactly, him paywalling guarantees the bad people stay out.
How does one see what is āauto hidden on Redditā? I donāt get a screen like that.
It's because OP has blocked people they've self deemed as "shills". When you block someone their comments still show up, just already collapsed and tagged as a blocked user.
Also itās for users who comment but are not subscribed to the sub
Wait people who are not subbed can comment?
Ah, did not know that. Thanks for the wrinkle.
Damn, didnāt know that. Iām unsubbed because sometimes I just like to turn off the noise and hold. Especially when itās flatlined so hard this year.
No, those are comments that have negative votes. Reddit collapses those threads. It has nothing to do with being blocked
Nope. Notice it says "Sort by: Best". If they were just comments with negative votes they wouldn't be above a comment with a positive vote score. Negative comments get moved to the bottom when sorted that way.
Isn't that just a header/info panel that stays fixed in place when you scroll down to the bottom of the list where all of the negatively voted comments are?
Doesn't explain why a positive score comment would be below them though. Edit: Plus, the mod comment at the top wouldn't stay there when scrolling to the bottom. OP is literally stating that 11/12 of the "Best" sorted comments, are "shills".
I wondered what that was
It also happens on comments that are "controversial" and have a wildly swinging upvote to downvote ratio
Thatās not true at all, I get those too and they arenāt blocked but hidden by reddit. Happens in every sub reddit, stop talking out of your ass lol
Edit: below this comment I added a screenshot showing that comment was full of shit

It's absurd. He probably saw the traffic and realized he had a great way to make some easy money
Because The Big Short guy is really hurting for substack money
Eh. The guy has interesting shit to say. I don't think there's anything wrong with debating his merits or motivations.
Burry is obviously a strong character in this saga even if he has only had a limited amount of screen time. I really don't get the hate, that seems like straight shillin for hating on burry.

Dude after 2008 he had the FBI tailing him.
Do you really think his back and forth now is a scenario to take at face value?
Hi Kenny
They've been here since the beginning. Nothing new. Burry means nothing. Show me the money, so I can finally fuck off for good!
Agreed except for:
I mean, he means nothing to me and my situation. That's what I meant. He is just a drop in the bucket, like Jon Stewart, the citadel whistle-blower engineer guy, Dr timbath, the Texas lawyer, and many more. So many have spoken out and it just means nothing.

You don't understand how reddit works, do you? Low karma/controversial comments are auto-hidden
Shills are strong this week
Very
Remember Pulte? What makes you think this is any different?
Pulte is a grifter, burry is not. Pulte chases clout, burry plays the market
I remember well.Ā What makes you think this is at all similar?
Edit:Ā A cursory glance would be enough to know Burry is not even remotely close to what Pulte is.
Just wait and you'll see. All of these tertiary people are distractions from the primary goal.
I wouldnt be surprised if real people thought MB is a grifter - he sounded like one last few weeks. He was so wrong he lost his fund. Im glad he actually made the article tho. Now, I'd appreciate another dip, still got pension funds to unload.
At closure, did was his fund net positive or negative?
He shut down his fund so he could openly speak about positions rather than having to stay quiet about why heās doing what heās doing. Lmao. Ridiculous to think he was āso wrongā when he made bank on his put positions and is now most likely going to go long again on GME.
