      I wrote about the Gamestop/Robinhood episode. Can we please, please, PLEASE stop separating the digital tools/internet from social and political dynamics in our analyses? Yes, tech platforms matter, yes, their business models matter, yes the rest matters. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/02/gamestop-mess-shows-internet-rigged-too/618040/ …pic.twitter.com/3kjdStnBMB

      This… isn’t true. Robinhood doesn’t sell “information about the trades,” it just sells the order flow itself. And the counterparties cannot and do not “cut in line” to front-run those trades.

      Yeah, fixing it. My basic point was that the user/customer difference. Not to comment on the exact mechanisms which don't matter to the broader idea. Live and learn! (I got it from financial press, I swear! This must be a widespread misunderstanding?) But thank you all!

          but none of this is ... true? Robinhood sells order flow, as does every other discount brokerage; there's nothing special about RH doing it. RH doesn't sell the order flow to "hedge funds."

          Replying to @matt_levine @zeynep and

          other discount brokerages are now mostly free too. most are better capitalized than RH, and RH's decision to be poorly capitalized is not really driven by its free business model (which, again, is now very common).

          Yeah, unfortunately a lot misunderstanding and / or oversimplification even in the financial press. Matt is your best bet on this stuff. Still a big fan of your work though!
