Jane Street is a market maker.
WSB is a gambling forum where people are addicted to chasing huge rewards by taking huge risks.
This would be about as interesting as going to a casino and recruting people who have a big win streak at the slot machine.
but there is evidence that some traders there are more skilled than others, like the guy I linked to (or someone like Warren Buffett or Jim Simons ). it's not all random like a casino. Plus, to make so much money at options trading so consistently, requires knowledge of position sizing, market intuition, pattern recognition, and other skills relevant for all aspects of trading.
