Numbers went down this week as DRSbot resets are happening due to users no longer in DRS Your GME subreddit, but want to add new DRS shares into the count. But no DRSbot witness approvals are taking place.
8/4/2023 Estimated DRS count: 76,995,315 (using DRSbot total x 4.272)
8/4/2023 Minus 1.2m Mainstar: 75,724,749
The 4.272 multiplier comes from 6/1/2023 Form 10-Q divided by DRSbot 6/1/2023 total: 76,600,000 / 17,928,960 = 4.272
I wonder if there are any plans for the DRSBot to make an appearance on the Lemmy communities at some point in the future? Maybe that is a question for JonPro03, but I haven’t heard anything from that guy in a long time. Not even sure if he is here.
Still, the constant stream of DRS reports on Superstonk was one of my favorite things about that subreddit, and I’d personally love to see it replicated in the PurpleCircle lemmy community.
Note that DRSbot’s developer is roid_rage_smurf rather than jonpro03.
Yeah, not sure if Lemmy has API or scripting capabilities to make it easy for DRSbot to tally.
Going down?
A few redditors have noticed where users do a drsbot reset, their share count goes to 0, then they try to re-add their shares. But then no drsbot witnesses approve their shares. Or the person doesn’t want to go through the approval process again. So we see share count go down like 34,000 or a few thousand shares, but then never get added back.
I manually fixed the #1 whale’s 1.3 million share count. Then this past week started adding back the 34,000+ shares of another whale. I’m too lazy to go through every DRS post looking for discrepancies where smaller amounts of shares don’t get added back. :\
