Yeah, that’s not really the point. People are going to avoid using these types of services, whether it’s Robinhood or some other startup, if they think they are going to get scammed. It is bad form, and the thing is that they knew that people have been skeptical about their sources of revenue for some time now.
Every other discount broker sells order flow too, and they’ll approve you for options trading if you say you have enough experience. I’m not sure why you think Robinhood is any different than TD or Schwab.
