I don't see how you can manufacture and control inefficiencies in the long term so that nobody can exploit them. How can you arbitrarily exacerbate the inefficiencies?

More money has been earned by removing the GameStop inefficiencies than by creating them. GameStop shot up in value driven by WallStreetBets, but those people mostly lost money by creating the inefficiencies.




Introducing them has made people money. Those people will seek to introduce them again under a different ticker.

The main inefficiency in GameStop is creating information and will to buy that runs completely orthogonal to the actual valuation of the stock. Like snake charmers, Roaring Kitty etc use memes and bots online to drum "bagholders" into a fervor, thinking they are righteously sticking it to some nebulous man by buying a stock that is worthless.


They're sticking it to the plebs who follow them. Just like all the other influencers.
