Robinhood strongly advocates for the idea that the financial benefits gained from investments, such as yields, should be directly passed on to the customer rather than retained by financial institutions. They argue that this approach creates a more equitable financial landscape and empowers individual investors. In doing so, Robinhood criticizes traditional finance systems that often prioritize the interests of brokers and banks over those of everyday investors, highlighting the ways in which these systems can be opaque and self-serving.
