I agree somewhat but there's no better way to learn how to invest than to try outsmarting the market for a few years.

Frankly the demand is ALWAYS going to be there for these types of services. And there are people that are actually smarter than the market. Robinhood is so much better than a lot of companies that try to attract those investors (like a site that makes you pay for day trading classes for example)

I'd rather have Robinhood than an app that charges fees, seems like a win for the consumer to me.

The demand will ALWAYS be there because Robinhood targets emotionally driven investments. This bullish market has also contributed to inflated egos around investing. Robinhood is now a fashionable trading application. If anything that should be a sign that we’ve entered a near speculative craze market wise.
