The companies you mentioned failed due to an inability to manage their debt load and went into a negative growth spiral. There are plenty of companies with massive short interest that are highly profitable, like Sirius XM.
Financial illiteracy is a curable disease. The first step is to stop using reddit as your bible.

Update: 3/17: link is now changed to the other coupon that's in this deal. I'd still strongly urge you to get the dual storage devices over a pair of these.

First, you are confusing the symptoms from the disease. A company doesn't go bankrupt because it's common stock is going to 0. It's the other way around - as a company approaches bankruptcy, the stock becomes worthless. That's usually due to debt, value dilution or mismanagement, more on that later.
A company selling it's stock can do so via reissue (treasury shares) or corporate actions, (there's also conversions, but we'll leave that topic alone for now.) Generally speaking, any time a company sells equities there's value dilution, as more shares are introduced to the market - you need to keep that in mind if you think raising cash this way is a "good" thing. In general, a company sells from a position of need (capital, M&A) vs buying back (consolidation from a position of strength.)
When a company's growth goes negative, it's going to try everything possible in order to survive. Re-issues and corporate actions are usually a bad idea as it further weakens their borrowing ability and their EPS. That leaves borrowing/converting more debt and asset sales. Short sellers see this and they sell short because they believe the trend will continue.
Hedging does not prevent a company from reissuing equities as long as there is liquidity in the markets and market making activities have not been compromised. (I'm assuming you're talking about equity hedging, although if you wish to discuss derivatives hedging, we'll be here for another book.)
What happens when companies see a hysterical market is the same thing that happens with any shareholder looking to raise cash - they try to sell high. The meme stocks drove prices above any sort of connection to underlying fundamentals and companies cashed out by selling high via treasury shares or convertible bonds. You can throw money at anything above it's expected value and of course someone will take it. The company selling it's own shares is basically telling you that they don't believe their assets will get a better price, and are taking the other side of the market from the redditors.
This misconception that hedging and short selling are somehow stealing capital from the companies is a problem of not understanding how and why a company offers equity in the first place. Redditors think they are saving a company by pushing a stock price higher and forcing a mass of buy to covers. The affected company could use this opportunity to raise cash - again, by diluting the value of shares. However, it doesn't change the underlying fundamentals - these companies have massive debt loads and/or are burning through cash and assets.
At some point, a company will go bankrupt when they have no more cash or assets to sell, which means it will owe more than the capital it can raise. The company does not owe this to hedge funds or short sellers, it owes it's debt to bond holders.
I get why you think so. It's a great feeling of winning. I went long in GME 4 years ago and also made a tidy profit when the price charged due to reddit - since I entered earlier, does that make me smarter than you? I also went long with BRKB.B during the 08 financial crisis, and that paid off incredibly. The difference between the two however is that one is a bubble and the other is a solid bet based on fundamentals. I believe way more in Berkshire long term than I do Gamestop, which I saw as a cyclical.
In the 80's, stock hawkers would pile hot stock tips by phone to drum up interest in buyers. They didn't discuss fundamentals, they didn't talk about debt, but they did try to get you excited about the "investment opportunity". Reddit has essentially turned the excitement generation into a crowd-sourced event.
That's fundamentally the difference today in retail investors - you have the emotional driven investing vs those who actually study an income statement. Have you read Gamestop's 10k? What does it tell you - Or do you not care?
You have to go to the headphone aisle to get these. They are not typically displayed openly in the stores I went to.
The wireless earbud ones are typically picked up at the cashier behind the counter.

Not sure if it's normal, but the cashier took down a ton of information for the system. Address, phone number, email address. Thought it would just be a quick scan of the coupon and I'd be on my way.

Some won't even ask you for your contact information; some will ask but won't care if you refuse; and some will be rather obstinate and won't give you the free items without getting the information.
