I am interested in if anyone ever did a survey of some kind to actually elicit the social preference for income distribution, where the result is some kind of 'optimal distribution of income'?

Influencers with ulterior motives have come and gone throughout this GME saga, and I will argue here that the recent push for options is one such event.
Content Warning: The unfortunate side effect of showing evidence of FUD is that you have to spread the FUD to do it. The messages in these two posts show evidence of vast multi-platform coordination to destabilize Superstonk and elevate liars and criminals into leaders.
This is serious astroturfing, and never forget that these are all anonymous online accounts. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking they are just like you, which is a key psychological illusion that social media misinformation campaigns exploit. Please take your time with it, and take care of yourself, and know that if you’re a good person who just wants to HODL and party and diamond hand those shares, that you’re not alone here.

Up front, let’s be clear: this fight is and always has been about the integrity of the information found on this sub. Nothing else.
- Profit-motive corrupts that integrity.
- Evidence of manipulation, brigading, and misinformation corrupts that integrity.
- Most importantly, contempt for Apes, the MOASS thesis, and the sub itself corrupts that integrity.
Am I saying that all of the people named below are engaged in actively scamming the Superstonk community? No.
I am, however, presenting evidence that they are brigading from outside the community rather than working within it, and rather than engaging in good faith they are using verifiable techniques of psychological manipulation in order to undermine the community and troll for followers who are particularly vulnerable to those techniques.
That is why I’ve collected and presented this data.

And if you want a fun game, just look for their brigade’s responses to these posts and compare them against known techniques of psychological manipulation and propaganda. It’ll keep you entertained all day.

> A paired-comparison preference rating experiment was performed in combination with a free-elicitation task for eight reproduction methods (consumer and professional systems with a wide range of expected quality) and seven program items (representative of potential broadcast material). The experiment was performed by groups of experienced and inexperienced listeners. Both groups preferred systems with increased spatial content; nine and five-channel systems were most preferred. The use of elicited attributes was analyzed alongside the preference ratings, resulting in an approximate hierarchy of attribute importance. Three attributes (amount of distortion, output quality, and bandwidth) were found to be important for differentiating systems where there was a large preference difference; sixteen were always important (most notably enveloping and horizontal width); and seven were used alongside small preference differences. Although the presence of more spatial content increases preference, adding loudspeaker channels does not necessarily give a corresponding increase in preference.

Do your worst!
Writer's note: James is your huckleberry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For James and the orc thing, nothing else existed at this moment in time.
Flames raged outside the simple walls of the camp, it burned trees and raiders with equal ferocity. Members of the raider group scrambled every which way, grabbing weapons and mounting the terrible heavy limbed beasts like the one James was currently struggling on top of. Some of them tried to grab water and smothering devices to put out the now spreading flames. Horns blared, and somewhere outside the walls a great battle was occurring. James would have heard yelling, screams of pain and rage, the clattering of weapons and armor, and great beastly roars of anger and death.
But right now, all he could hear, all he could see, was the blood pounding through his veins, and the rage and fear in the face of the bastard whose life he struggled to end with the heavy chain he'd wrapped around its throat.
For these two beings, locked in this particular struggle to the death, only the other participant existed.
James strained every muscle of his body, his legs straddling the back of the terrible monster that his opponent was riding, his arms pulling at the chain with every ounce of strength they had. The monster was actually helping the effort, the sudden additional rider had startled it, the fact that its wrist had just been cut deeply and that the blade was stuck in that wrist had hurt and scared it. As a result, it was thrashing about, forcing the choking rider to keep a hold of its reins with its left hand. The rider's right hand was up, barely keeping the chain from having full purchase on its neck, unable to engage James fully as a result.
They struggled like that for long seconds. James felt an impact on his right shoulder blade but ignored it. If he was hurt, he could deal with it later. Right now, he had to kill this creature by any means necessary. The Orc thing snarled at him, and James snarled right back. James lifted his left leg up and planted his knee on the rider's back, using it to add leverage and strength to the attempted choking.
As he did this, the ridden monster's back right leg came up, its odd three digited hand grasping for James's leg. Between his new position

Artist: DJ Muggs x Rome Streetz
Album: Death & The Magician

Background by /u/farm_sauce
Through a prophetic sense for the future of the genre, mixed with his undeniable roots in the evolution of popularized hip hop sound, DJ Muggs has become the “Nick Fury” of east coast rap’s Avengers, assembling the most lyrically talented verbal superheroes the east coast has to offer, and has asserted himself as an undeniable force for all that is pure and essential to hip hop.
DJ Muggs, born Lawrence Muggerud, is a Queens borough native with a passion for New York hip hop culture. Muggs started his career DJing in the New York underground scene in 1988, shortly before linking with B-Real and Sen Dog to form one of hip hop’s most iconic supergroups, Cypress Hill. You may have heard of them. Muggs produced 7 albums with the group, four of which achieved platinum status, the remaining three going gold. In the late 80’s and 90’s, Muggs wasn’t just on fire, he was a nuclear fission plant for creating iconic music. Some of his most iconic collaborations were with rap hall-of-famers like GZA, House of Pain, Fundoobiest, and Planet Asia to name a few. He was shaping what the everyday listener thought hip hop could sound like, establishing the genre has an American staple, and creating a sound that would be revisited for decades to come.
It was Muggs who took The Alchemist under his wing in the early 90’s. The Alchemist, who needs no introduction to this sub, sparked Muggs’ growing passion for mentoring and collaborating with new artists, especially those whose musical abilities far surpass their exposure and fame. Muggs wanted to work on the razor’s edge of hip hop, carving a path forward with two things in mind: an undying loyalty to the nostalgic sound of 90’s boom bap production, and absolutely filthy elite lyricism.
In 1997, Muggs released an album titled Soul Assassins, defined by its grim and sinister melodies laid under slow-paced and menacing drums, interjected with haunting audio clips that gave the audience an all-too-close look at the rotten underbelly of American soc
