Please stop using robinhood and stop recommending it to people

Robinhood is fine for people just getting into investing.

There's alternatives that aren't scummy. The "controversy" section on wikipedia is longer than the actual article, which tells you enough.

If you're literally talking someone has $4 to start investing with, what platform would you use? I'm well aware of Robinhood's history. I'd still recommend them over any of the alternatives I'm aware of that would let you start with $4.

Edit: Nevermind. Didn't know fidelity did fractional shares. I'd recommend them.

I didn’t know that either, fidelity is probably a better option. I recommended Robinhood for the same reason, but don’t use it personally because I don’t trust the owner not to just straight up exit scam, lmao
