The Gamestop CEO is an interesting character, he grew Chewy and sold it, did a massive play on Apple stock during the pandemic and used that to buy a 9% stake in Gamestop over time, rode the hype to accumulate $9B while turning the company around and closing stores that weren't profitable and making it a money making budiness again. And now they already own 5% of eBay on top.

Along the way he says some ridiculous Trump stuff and wasted a bunch of time on NFTs but the eBay play seems interesting at least. It's one of the best internet soap operas to follow. For comparison AMC was put in the same "meme stock" bag at the time and you can see how they managed to ride the hype. So it's not just memes.

Reminds me of Sierra On-Line being acquired by CUCk International in 1996.

is this for real? Or just to get gamestonks back into the news for another whirl on the wheel of meme?

ebay is still "old internet", and genuinely useful and well built. enshittification is incoming...

GameStop is not a serious company and I can’t believe some people still buy in to their hype nonsense.

i don't understand why ebay looks SO terrible. It seems like some broken website where css failed to load.
