Search for 'payment for order flow' if you want to know how robinhood gets paid and why you might want to pay trading fees instead of getting it for 'free'.

And most people should realize that all discount brokers are this way and Robinhood is not special in this regard.

Virtually all brokerages do that, including the ones which make you pay all the traditional trading fees.
