I have accounts with traditional brokers and with Robinhood. I assure you the barrier to entry with Robinhood is far lower than traditional brokers. I could definitely see this being a major concern with the potential to ruin some unsuspecting innocently curious "investors" lives.

financially naive speculators blow up their account with partially featured financial company

straight out of the onion folks.

Robinhood's gold account is still 100% less margin than other brokers and the regulations themselves allow! Yet they are getting people to pay for it! Have a laugh because it is hilarious, paying for the privilege to pay interest is the bigger article here.
