What would happen if r/Wallstreetbets found a Bloomberg terminal? Since 1982, the financial data vendor Bloomberg L.P. has provided real-time financial market data accessible only through the interface of the Bloomberg Terminal. For an annual fee of $20,000 you can access and exchange information to buy and sell financial assets on a secure proprietary network with 325,000 other subscribers. Since 2012, the user account u/OPINION_IS_UNPOPULAR has moderated the subreddit page r/Wallstreetbets on the public forum Reddit. r/WSB’s interface is available on virtually any networked device. For a zero annual fee, you can exchange information, financial trading strategies, and posts with 12.9 million other subscribers.

Now every image can be an interface to speculate, generate, and exchange value.

What’s between you and me?

What’s between you and the earth?

To be between the act of appearing and the act of looking.
