Would imagine they are a lot happier than all the doom, filth, and brain rot that is spewn all over social media.

I miss the days when the lowest common denominator did not have the largest bullhorn.

Which media org was bought for this?

Are you being sarcastic due to Elon buying Twitter to own/control the conversation? He would be a poster child for the bad actions you are describing.

Very cool! An improvement for version 2.0 would be to add the ability to filter by ball type: two-piece, swing speed, and cover. This would provide users with better insight into pricing.

Derivative markets are almost always there to provide leverage. Yeah, thinly traded options are a significant downside. If you can get in and out of the contracts, you can always combine options to remove some of those volatility costs by selling as well as buying, ie, spreads and ratios.
