I used to work on an investment platform and we used to say that the ideal user logged in once, invested a whole bunch and then wasn’t seen again until they had more to invest. Daily active users and even monthly active users just shouldn’t be what an investment platform aims for. It’s not healthy to constantly check your investments

Robinhood doesn’t care at all for their users, after all they and their orders are the product it sells.
A sharp contrast with the Indian "Robinhood", Zerodha, which pushes its users to not gamble and instead make measured long-term investments [0]. May be because Zerodha is not VC backed is why they've users-first mentality versus metrics-first?
