Go back and read that last post she wrote about things that were said to her.
If for a moment you think being a woman doesn't play into this, I think your high.
I've never been treated even 1% as poorly as she has. And she's consistently nice and humble.
Hating on a 25 year old that isn't even running real money or doing anything except openly sharing her strategy is an especially crap look.
I think the zero-sumness of options has crept into some of your worldviews.
Did you lose by her gaining followers?
I loved what she was doing. I didn't dig into NOPE but it was totally beside the point to me. I saw her learning and sharing in public which is a value I've openly espoused and live by if you haven't noticed.
Go listen to her pods. Listen to her interview with @jposhaughnessy
She is gifted and self-aware. She'll be fine whatever she does. She's a good soul and even that's beside the point.
These takes about her growing follower count somehow justifying scrutiny. It's not scrutiny. It's hate. The view that "that's what you get Lily" is mind-blowing.
You're welcome to troll people and hate. It says more about you than the target.
People notice.
And as far as using her platform for good. Here's a student that could easily have made decent coin for herself who chose to use her substack for charity. I openly advocate for the BCS on this site and she chose that as the first charity to support bc I asked her to consider it.
She got chased off the platform by words. Yet she is doing far better than words. She's making actions that make a fuckin difference in meatspace. Not in fuckin nerdo dork space.
Some of y'all see the world in dark ways. Really immature.
Ok I'm done.
Thank you 🐙

Here's a story that starts with Costco and ends with a broader question.
After a recent shopping trip I was telling a friend how good the Kirkland tequila anejo is. I was wondering which spirit brand they laundered the Kirkland name thru.
After some raving about Costco and how you can literally drop $300 there on a casual Friday morning and not feel bad about it my friend shared a story of Costco's buying power.
She was privy to Costco's dealings with the Hidden Valley brand. She told me that years ago Costco in an desire to be more healthy didn't want to sell a product with msg...the magic ingredient in HV Ranch dressing.
Explained to a learner in my DMs who underestimates the vega risk of a near dated option:
It's true that the near term option's vega is not large. But that is counterbalanced by the fact that near term IVs move faster (ie are more volatility then longer term IVs)
A 1 month ATM option has 1/2 the vega of a 4 month option.
But if the 1 month IV is twice as volatile it's the same vega risk.
Need to consider vega and the vol of vol.
(This is a doorway to a whole discussion about term structure and vega scaling but I'm not running down that stuff anytime soon...maybe @AgustinLebron3, @Ksidiii, or @volmagorov can thread one while sitting on a toilet)
When I was a Susq I heard Jeff speak a few times. Always engaging.
They were savage in my days there but the doubling down on tech and brains thru the years probably makes Jeff the richest dude in the world you never heard of (unless you look at pol donations, then you know)
One of the talks was on the primacy of markets (Yass is an extreme libertarian, free-marketer, no fool should be allowed to keep their money type. Appealing views to many traders, esp when they are young)
