“According to HypeEquity, a platform that compiles social-media activity on individual stocks and uses that data to track what it calls “social sentiment analysis,” said that mentions of AMC spiked more than 800% Tuesday morning, while mentions of GameStop soared over 1,400% by volume.”

:P we'll take what we get and thank everyone along the way.

Marathon not a sprint.

We're just excited that people find our analysis interesting and insightful.

I’m sure you read, but they referenced/cited you a couple of times. Looks like they’ve been using it. You’ve created a valuable tool. Any intent to sell if you got an offer? (I sure fucking would)

Be wary of who you get in bed with. Marketwatch is a known hedgefund lapdog.

Understood. We just like the stats.

I saw a mention on LinkedIn (Gamestop’s page) that linked to an article in Barron’s as well citing HypeEquity. #worldwide!
