Respectfully, it's really not that simple. Verb al

Naked short selling negates all of that by creating infinite supply. Stock prices change based on supply and demand- No matter how good a company is, if the supply is infinite, the demand for shares can never overcome that. Add into that 'dark pool trading', where market makers route our orders onto other exchanges....So even when there's high demand and increased volume, the positive impact on the share price is negligible.
The goal of naked shorts is to completely bankrupt the company and cause it to delist, so they never have to close/cover their short positions. Extended price suppression via naked shorting is what led to the cratering of our stock price, and it needs to STOP in order for Verb to survive and thrive.
Ignoring artificial price suppression and market manipulation to keep growing the business would be like running a marathon with a bullet in your leg.
Sure, you might finish the race, but bleeding out and collapsing is more likely....It's smarter to remove the bullet, tend to the wound, then get back on your feet and keep moving forward.
