> all the well known so called discount brokerages sell order flow

The order flow selling is sensationalised. Everyone does it.

But Robinhood’s order flow being so much more valuable than competitors’ is interesting. And the difference cannot be explained solely by small order size. The market is betting Robinhood trades are profitable to trade against. Given how the UX encourages over-trading and complex trading, I’m inclined to agree.
