RE:New Format or Fading Interest in O&G stocksIf people were interested, they would find a way to post. The new format maybe helped motivate them get rid of an irritation they were meaning to move on from.
Investing is hard and many people who frequent these boards are looking for fast, easy money. Oil has been in the grinder for 12 months. That's too long for most people to maintain interest. So the boards are now seeing the message volume we saw in the early half of the pandemic rally. Very few trusted that rally. Oil has left many scarred clouding their view of the opportunity that presents itself.
Once the stocks start flying again, they will be back. They always come back.

How much of this decline do you think is attributable to the new format versus waning interest on O&G stocks?
