That is exactly what happens. When Clay Trader put

Experienced full-time traders can still make money trading the dips and surges - risking just small amounts at each buy point - but only if they can afford to monitor it throughout the trading day - which can be counter productive if there are multiple other stocks moving in your portfolio that you also need to be watching / trading. $VYST and $TTCM are prime examples of where you have the 2 x opposing groups every day for months on end which makes it very easy to learn the pattern and get regular returns almost every day by outsmarting the shorters.
On $VYST you see asks shorted initially and then walked down by up to .02 in minutes then - either the next day or within a few days - repeat single buys of $50K or more starting and sustaining a move all the way back up.
$EVSV is an example where a handful of bashers who have chosen to sell for a loss in the past make it there full-time job to defame the CEO and short his stock with as little as 1 share a day - from an order placed before the open set at the price of the last bid they saw. I know they have been doing this for 20 months now as I invariably have an invisible bid above - for a non-AON amount sized below the display threshold. There action is contrary to SEC rules as it is making a trade for no significant benefit and brokers' compliance departments are supposed to pick it up and take action. E*Trade have warned in the past that anyone detected is liable to have their account closed by means of their entire portfolio being liquidated through market order placed on the bid side and the proceeds being returned to them. On $EVSV - and $ECOX - the basher actions make no difference to longs who know that the price will go up significantly if they are patient and so we are happy to just keep picking up the cheap shares and at some point join in the ask buying on catalysts to take out any basher blocking wall. This makes stocks like $EVSV some of the highest regular earners every year for the patient - even if the huge profit action only takes place over a few days of each year.
I have reported the Clay Trader videos under the useless iHub TOS multiple times - when they link to his external site - essentially advertising it - but they don't get deleted.
It has been well-established that iHub is complicit in supporting the full-time bashers. It is only a matter of time before individual CEOs who have become the target of defamation by sustained bashing start using the "on-line reputation / business damage" laws - which vary by state - to win individual actions actions individual named bashers. For example, this process has already started on $SUTI - and with awards typically being $100K+ per person and attorneys taking a cut rather than being paid - is more lucrative for the CEO than taking on convertible debt - so that will be a win win !
