Increasing memberships through rewards is a great way to get new people into investing. Everything else that is extra flare gamification is a non issue. The extra flare makes things look nice but people 100% understand what they are doing. We are talking about money here.

PFOF should be removed from the equation. It is leading to an unfaor market structure. Big xompanies shouldnt be able to suppress buying pressure when they see fit while simultaneously allowing sell pressure through lit markets.
