That's a pretty toxic comment. Surely multiple banks and other software businesses have made mistakes but that doesn't stop the users from trusting their services. All this will blow over and people will forgive and forget. You don't need to age discriminant just because they make it easier to invest

As a financial institution trust is everything. When they lied about savings accounts being SPIC insured, they lost a lot of credibility that will be near impossible to get back. And nothing against 18 year old, I also used Robinhood starting out. But once you have over a couple thousand invested, you need a bit more confidence in the company.

This is without even going into the stupidity that was infinite leverage and the CEOs response afterwards. That is an entirely different level of incompetence that would need a novel to fully expand upon
