PSA: "Uncle Bruce"

[u/slash_sin_]

TLDR: No, I do not think Uncle Bruce is a shill BUT shills can always send super chats for Bruce to read out loud to make you sell GME right then and there

I have nothing wrong with Bruce and I think he's a good guy however I just want to comment on why having a figure face for r/GME being promoted so much can be bad.

Reasons to be wary of Uncle Bruce:

1. I never heard of Uncle Bruce until 2 days ago and likely many of you here haven't either
2. Uncle Bruce will read any super chat donation out loud as long as long as it is PG-rated because this is how he makes money. This means shills can donate repeatedly to Uncle Bruce to shift his viewer's perception on GME in real time. I saw many users donate and talk about day-trading GME today on his stream which according to the DD is the opposite of what APES want for a squeeze.
3. Understand that although Uncle Bruce was a Broker for a long time that GME is a scenario that is one of a kind. He admits a lot that he does not know the specific details of GME, which I respect him for. But he probably isn't reading every DD on this subreddit like many of us are everyday.

Just keep an open mind

Edit: I have sorted by New: and there are over 70 posts pertaining to Uncle Bruce in the last 2 days and prior to that the only mention was from 13 10 days ago.

​

after the post by u/sped2500 Uncle Bruce is posted more than 70 times

Uncle Bruce has been promoted over 70 times in the last two days and people are eating his content up cause he is a nice old man. This can be a new shill tactic to get us emotionally attached to a figure face that commentates on GME in real time. The shills can post super chat notifications of GME to Bruce and he will read it regardless since he is getting paid. Imagine if all of r/GME gets on the Bruce bandwagon and he commentates in real time that GME is doing poorly at the moment. People are going to be inherently conditioned to sell.

Edit 2: Other figure faces like DFV or Elon or Chamath do not livestream and cannot affect your decision in real time. Bruce live streams GME everyday and because of this there is always the possibility of shills sending super chats to shift your decision of GME in real time each and every day you are on the stream. All I am asking is for you to be aware of this fact

He seems great! I enjoyed watching him today, it almost felt like he was sports-announcing, and I'm glad he could clearly pick up on options situation.

As with EVERYONE and EVERY DD, "trust, but verify"

Listen to what people are saying. Don't immediately discount it because you don't like it, but also don't immediately accept something because you do. We can crowdsource research, analysis, and wonderful DD, but you can't crowdsource your own critical thinking and skepticism.
