Do you understand that these shares are not awarded, though? He has to BUY them, so if they are worthless, his comp will be too.

Precisely! Ryan Cohen discussed this very bit on the TBPN interview yesterday, starts at 1:33:20 or so

What about the company's profitability? Did that continue to decline as well?

Gets paid compensation in stock. So if shareholders lose value, he does too.

Super interesting how so many people on HN seem to have a more negative sentiment towards GameStop and its CEO than Amazon.

Unexpectedly, a lot of this negative sentiment seems to be rooted in thin media coverage, a la Jim Cramer.

Headline-driven market is a thing, not sure why meme stock investors are part of this? How are they connected to this news?

Also, what's a meme stock? How would you define that?

Ryan Cohen rarely does interviews & Lauren Thomas is one of the few journalists he agreed to speak to, they had an interview earlier this year - https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/gamestop-ceo-plans-e8440c...

If you check eBay & GME's stock prices after the announcement, the market seems to think there are at least serious discussions here if not more.
