Regsho was supposed to eliviate it but market makers abuse their special powers ( yes a market maker gets to do special things others can't ) as they "make a market". The idea is basically market makers are tasked with keeping a balance of shares traded and and to keep things smooth so if there is massive selling or buying they basically can use their powers to level out things to keep a fair and proper running market. However there are bad market makers that abuse their power and naked short sale to their gain without any interest to what is good and proper for the market.

Knowledge + risk taking = prosperity
