They didn't hold congressional meetings nor called in Yahoo / moderators / pushers of those stock message boards back then. Yet, they did such for GME because institutional traders (Wall Street hedge funds) lost a lot of money...most likely constituents of some of those in congress. I think that's the difference between Yahoo stock message boards from back in the day versus something like Reddit and Wall Street Bets today. Plus today, live streaming and better technology to get a ton of retail traders together (fast) to fight the big boys...that wasn't possible back in the day. wrbtrader
