That's what they want them to believe, that they are very important. Good for the stock price.

How would convincing people that their plan to short the stock might be a legitimate risk (encouraging shorts) be good for the stock price?

They initially did try to get WSB on board w/ the DSO, with a cheeky "why let institutional investors have all the fun ;) " but as far as I understand it, WSB isn't biting.
