...to cover their borrowed shares. If most shares are held by retail investors who won't sell, the price will skyrocket (supply/demand) until someone does. The bear hedge funds and such will still have to buy to cover, which may cause a bit of a liquidity crisis for the funds.

Sure most of the folks know this already, but this isn't unique to Robin hood. Other cheap brokerages that charge fees also engage in the same front loaded activities that shaves a cent or two off shares their clients buy and sell.

Front running flow and manipulating stock prices are both illegal, WSB is doing this because they are random people who don't understand consequences, Citadel is not because they have a compliance department and actually fear consequences
