People viewed this as a revolution in the finance industry due to the little guys affecting the big guys so much. What I mean by this is with the little guys buying all of the stock the price went up therefore the hedge fund guys can’t pay back the stock brokers.

This totally messed up the “higher ups” of the investing world (those who shorts the stock).

# data[].attributes.body
Some people saw this as a type of a revolution in the finance history because day traders saw how these big hedge funds were betting heavily against (shorting) GME and these mostly “reddit influenced” traders wanted to prove the hedge funds wrong. The revolution was practically the big and wealthy Wall Street hedge funds versus any regular day traders or practically “short term betters.” With strength in numbers from the small “investors”, these people were able to manipulate the market and heavily increase the cost per share of GME.

# data[].attributes.body
The ‘revolution’ that people are talking about has to do with the power of the hedge funds firms and people. For a long time, stocks were determined by the big firms and what they thought a stock or bond was worth. The firms would put billions of dollars betting companies doing well or not. This creates an issue where the people don’t think they have much control on the stocks because their few dollars don't compare to the billions that the firms have. This stunt from Reddit shows that when people stand together they will be able to make a huge difference.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people view this as a “revolution” because it was the people (consumers) who caused this uproar. It wasn’t the government or another company’s influence. It’s interesting because it was an ordinary group of people that otherwise wouldn’t really have much of an influence on economics, but they were able to completely turn the market on its head

# data[].attributes.body
This is a "revolution" in the finance industry because it is something that has never happened before. It shows how much power the people really have and how they have the ability to take away a ton of money from hedge funds and companies on Wall Street. The consumers are able to control these massive billion dollar companies and they proved it to the whole world with what happened with GameStop.

# data[].attributes.body
Robinhood specifically, at one point, didn’t allow any new investors to invest in GME which created a scarcity of ways to buy the stock.
