So one of the ways Robinhood makes money is payment for order flow (PFOF).

One lens to view PFOF is that it connects the most sophisticated traders (HFTs, etc.) with the least sophisticated traders (retail).

Inventing a new, even less sophisticated class of traders seems like exactly the kind of thing that makes sense for their business model.
