Many things, I'd argue. Meat industry causing animal suffering. Social media, tobacco, fast food industries causing human suffering. Oil and gas industry causing environmental destruction.

What direct suffering does algorithmic trading cause? It would take quite the narrative spin to argue that it's as bad or worse as one of the above industries.

You are syphoning revenue from a diverse cast of multi-ethnic CEO's that could use that revenue to enrich their communities.

They won't, but they could. They totally could, and you are ruining that possibility.
