Maybe these are /r/wallstreetbets folks flocking in? On a more serious note: I think the topic of stocks and getting rich real quick might generate that kind of feel, on any platform. Probably borderline for HN to have these discussions?
It's more the people who pay for the bloomberg terminal who can't handle the headline. The opposite crowd of /r/wallstreetbets.
This is the people "sticking it to the hedge funds" pouring in.

> This has that too, it's called "reddit" If you receive a Bloomberg message from someone, it's something actionable. That's not true, in finance, of virtually any other electronic communication channel.
Can you give some examples? Do you mean it's highly trustworthy?
I never got spammed once on my terminal.
Not once.

But this post definitely has a very bizarre comment section compared to most.
And not just any one comment, but almost every thread. Maybe it has to do with the "Gamestonks" moniker and what it entails

Hacker News has always been reddit. All these comments are just people seeing through the matrix.
