Reddit forum WallStreetBets, with a user base of well over 10.7 million and growing, rose to prominence in the finance world after it was identified as a key social hub frequented by retail investors in the GameStop Corp.

Since December 2020, when it had just 1.8 million members, the forum has increased in popularity and influence, sparking appeals for regulation around social media speculation and memeification of the stock market.
