You’re right. They’ve got some issues, but there is nothing else like it out there that’s easy for newbies to invest despite of reliability issues.

But they've taken themselves out of the newbie market. Newbies now see them as shady. Potential newbies now see them as shady.
I think you're drastically underestimating the reputational hit they took today.

I've seen these things come and go. #DeleteUber, no one gives a shit about it anymore.
Perhaps, you're drastically overestimating the hit they took today? Let's mark this comment and check after 6 months or a year.

DeleteUber was entirely different thing. A boycott attempt driven by social justice issues. This is something that negatively impacted over half of Robinhood's customers in a very direct manner. Not at all comparable.
Sure, let's check back in a year.

You make a fair point noting the differences of motivation behind the boycott.
