The GME thing resulted in lots of people losing lots of money, whereas many of them were convinced they were going to become millionaires.

The “GME thing” resulted in a couple of hedge fund firms going belly up. So yes, you are correct that a lot of people lost a lot of money. A few people did become millionaires from the fiasco.

Sure, at the very beginning there was some action for those very few early enough to the party, but the vast majority of people who bought in to GME did so after this happened and have only lost money.
