Sure with broad strokes, it generally sucks when a tech company makes unilateral decisions for its customers, whether that's restricting which stocks you can buy or whether you can put unauthorized apps on your iPhone.

But I find it particularly egregious because the major principle of RH was that it was on the side of the everyman rather than institutions.

> the major principle of RH

The "major principle" is to make billions of dollars by owning the market, as it always seems to be with these silicon valley startups

Right right, I mean the face-value marketing "major principle", the one I was foolish enough to trust for a while.

And yet their entire business model is that they offer it for free because they sell access to your orders to market makers so that they front run your transaction.
