This move literally only hurts those who are short-selling the stock. It has almost no other impact other than to the individual companies who just gained a lot of capital (probably temporarily and only if they sell their own stocks).

Dude, theres nothing wrong with short selling over valued companies.

That's a false narrative. Theres no price discovery in the market since Obama. They made it all fiction.

True, but when 125% of a stock is short-sold, well, there is something wrong, and maybe cash out while you're ahead.

Yeah, manipulation is bad.

They got what they deserved

But what we need is a sound system.

Well if the stocks were tangible you wouldn't be able to shortsell more than 100%, as in you "borrowed" all the stocks. There is an obvious problem with the system if you can borrow more stocks than which exist.
