How would convincing people that their plan to short the stock might be a legitimate risk (encouraging shorts) be good for the stock price?

Asking about the value of reddit on reddit seems like it would contribute to the value of reddit...

If the resounding answer is "we should short it", then the contribution would be negative.

They initially did try to get WSB on board w/ the DSO, with a cheeky "why let institutional investors have all the fun ;) " but as far as I understand it, WSB isn't biting.
