I don’t know the long term story, but I don’t understand @RobinhoodApp
People shouldn’t day trade or pick stocks.
Long term, people should have diversified portfolios. So they are good if they become Wealthfront?
What am I missing?

Replying to @tqbf
It seems really hot. Do people that think it is legit hot also think that? What is the generous read of the love for the app?

The nicest thing I have ever heard anyone say about Robinhood was a young SFBA professional of my acquaintance: "It's a generational thing. But for RH I don't think *anyone* I know would own stocks. It was irrelevant to their lives until someone put a consumer-grade UI on it."

I am frankly very, very skeptical of Robinhood; I think they make product and marketing choices which are irresponsible and which pessimize for their users' outcomes. But I will concede that that is an argument that feels colorable to me.

There's a bank-shot case for liking Robinhood as a non-user, too: they're competitive pressure on commissions, which long-term everyone believes will go to effectively 0 but which are materially non-zero because large brokerages don't quite collude but give good impression of it.
