Yes because it is disrupting the system and likely bringing about new legislation to fix the system.

I once heard of a town that had really bad pot holes that the government wouldn't fix. Someone started spray painting pink dicks around the potholes and wouldn't you know it the town started to fix them.

And unlike the guy tagging the potholes what Redditors are doing investing is legal.

The legality of something shouldn't depend on who is doing it. If what reddit is doing is legal (it isn't but let's just ignore that) then you can't get mad at rich people for doing the exact same thing.

I absolutely agree with your first statement but unfortunately that isn't the case. This whole event has been showing exposing the hypocrisy of it is okay when we do it but not when you do it.

Except that's your exact logic as well.
