The most popular subreddit of 2021: r/wallstreetbets
It’s no surprise that the most popular post in 2021 was from the famous r/wallstreetbets, a subreddit. This subreddit has been the source of some of the biggest and most dramatic stock market moves of the past few years. Redditors outperformed massive hedge funds that were betting against GameStop, AMC, and others. This move made Dogecoin (started as a joke) skyrocket.
