I’ll admit I was being melodramatic for effect, but I’m definitely in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” camp on this one. Maybe it’s because I’m not at all involved in the stock trading world, but I find it hard to get as agitated about this as I was during the uprisings last year. To me that was a much more visceral confrontation between ordinary people and the powers that be than a bunch of imaginary numbers being shuffled around.

I think a lot of folks think that only happened because those folks were rabble rousers and were stepping out of line, basically.
Meanwhile, this is people doing capitalism within capitalism like you're supposed to do and when they got an edge by playing within the rules of the system (unlike the rabble rousers!) the system still stepped up and said "no."
I think it's different in that regard and will radicalized people who weren't before. But yeah this probably isn't sparking the revolution.
