The only public company I've seen that tries to combat stupid normies and gambling degenerates from fucking with its operations is Berkshire Hathaway. Warren Buffet made its Class A stock obscenely expensive (currently at $723,549.00 a share) so people who buy the stock would be long-term investors and have some skin in the game, and not just YOLO.
That said, Buffet did create Class B shares for normies to get in, but with drastically lower voting power (1/10,000th of Class A).
I don't even think its really normies causing these types of problems.
Its the same type of guy who runs pump and dump schemes and does venture capital investments. Someone who already has a lot of money (aka not normies) and is trying to make a lot of quick bucks injecting money into something and then pulling it out without a care about the product/company itself. Or some ultra rich guy whose only in it to feed his ego and need for control.
The normies buying a handful of tiny shares hoping to increase their wealth just a bit are very unlikely to even have their opinions heard, its just assumed what they want is "money" and the board talks for them.
