The reason Robinhood may have become a whipping boy is because they are only known for trading stocks - that's it. Brokerages like Schwab, Fidelity and TDA are well known companies that not only allow you to trade, but actually administer 401k's, pensions and have financial managers that help you with long-term goals. Sure, they make mistakes, but they're the more mature companies that provide assistance/education in long-term goals. I haven't recognized Robinhood advertise in any TV/internet ads or blogs encouraging "buy and hold" mentality. I see Robinhood as a teenager still growing up. Schwab/Fidelity/TDA are the parents that knows what's best.
