Reddit seems like IRL Silicon Valley. They had no idea what they were/are doing, winging everything, and somehow failing upwards. It's a complete bullshit company, and hopefully Wall Street will see it for what it really is at IPO launch.

All of Silicon Valley is just like the show. Some friends of mine couldn't even watch it because it hit too close to home.

Exactly. It was dramatized and way more entertaining than reality but the premise was based on very realistic scenarios.

Remember the whole thing with GameStop? Wall Street knows, but they definitely don’t care, as long as they can make a fast buck and get out.
