A forum calling itself WallStreetBetsNew, which was founded last year, ballooned to nearly 200,000 users, from about 71,000 earlier in the day.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":312682224,"gmtCreate":1612141358568,"gmtModify":1704867349844,"author":{"id":"3565133850047267","authorId":"3565133850047267","name":"therealp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8d09d4444f8072c72e950ca9c8dc044e","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3565133850047267","authorIdStr":"3565133850047267"},"htmlText":"wow","listText":"wow","text":"wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/312682224","repostId":2107292381,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":312839363,"gmtCreate":1612087511752,"gmtModify":1704867194875,"author":{"id":"3575105986600075","authorId":"3575105986600075","name":"Sithu361","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575105986600075","authorIdStr":"3575105986600075"},"htmlText":"Interesting&nbsp;","listText":"Interesting&nbsp;","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/312839363","repostId":2107292381,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":312931310,"gmtCreate":1611987955930,"gmtModify":1704866828262,"author":{"id":"3571822130411286","authorId":"3571822130411286","name":"Jweikit","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b483f2ee96e5c438b841f3c0a8e4ccdf","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a8758340a08196056f8bc1e54805193","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3571822130411286","authorIdStr":"3571822130411286"},"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/312931310","repostId":2107292381,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3445700,"gmtCreate":1612053902411,"gmtModify":1680775015868,"authorId":3566821013640470,"author":{"id":3566821013640470,"idStr":"3566821013640470","authorId":3566821013640470,"name":"Jazling","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85e0a83573d9307f57fca9b2baed72af","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493-2","templateUuid":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493","name":"Senior
