GME was a one trick pony. They about to find out that the silver market is a totally different animal.

Maybe, if you assume everything is static and only the target has changed.

In opposition to that, you have a large number of individuals who made serious coin in the GME trade.
They are feeling their oats.
There are 5-10 times that number of people who wish they were part of something that won and many of those that want in on the action this time.
In addition, the markets are based on being rational - acting in your own interest.
The hoards pouring over the boarder are not rational and are upsetting the rules.

And finally, the actions of the hoards have changed the landscape enough and created enough chaos that BIG players will see blood in the water - not to mention GIANT players like sovereign wealth funds and countries.

What changed?

Crowdsourcing (via technology) and a change in belief about the evil of the system and the power of individuals.

Time will tell. It will be entertaining.

As a side note, I'm glad a younger generation is awakening to precious metals.

Things are not static and that is why the GME play is a one trick pony. No hedge fund will get caught like that again. The ones that did are idiots, committing the mortal sin of not properly hedging.
