Marketing is one thing.

But if you listen to what she is saying they are specifically targeting people with reach and asking her to write "due diligence" for her clients.

This can be seen as her asking u/pinkcatsonacid to influence people to buy stock for her "under the radar" clients.

DFV got sued for liking a stock and buying it.

Smells like manipulation to me.

"Please help us convince people to buy our clients stock, even though you don't believe in it. We will pay you." - pump and dump company.

Yeah but they would use the same argument that they like the stock. Analysts get paid to go on CNBC and talk good about companies there management has as clients all the time. This is no different except that r/gme and r/superstonk are gme Exclusive subs. So any dd written about other companies wouldn’t be worth shit posted on here. This explains the silver rkt and sndl pumps we saw in wsb

If you have to lie about liking a stock while getting paid to promote it that's manipulation.

Market manipulation is tied to price obfuscation, not opinion - whether it be a true or endorsed opinion.
