=== SUMMARY ===
- The post discusses the evolution of r/ValueInvesting, lamenting the influx of non-value-investing users and "influencers" who push low-quality stocks.
- The author's thesis is that the subreddit has become divisive due to a mix of bottom-feeders, falling-knife catchers, and pumpers, and suggests blocking the latter.
- Quality assessment: This is noise—a meta commentary on subreddit culture, not a researched investment thesis or actionable idea.

(Note the Flair)
It started as a place where value investors hung out, to discuss sieving through high quality gems among stocks that are cheap.
Then this subreddit attracted people looking for serious conversations they could not find elsewhere (eg.”*Why did my stock fall?”)* but many did not bring the valueinvesting mindset into the conversation. They also did not care. ( case in point: someone here recently lamented that we engaged in **bottom feeding**, another accused us of **catching a falling knife**)
The last type of people who come here are the “influencers”, the pond-scums and the scallywags, who are just trying to pump their unprofitable short term below investment-grade stocks onto unsuspecting investors.

Now, I don’t propose we kick out the unconverted but we should seek out the pumpers, the DRAM traders, the momo penny stock pushers, and then block them.
