		SpicyLemonZest on Jan 31, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Robinhood disabled buys but not sells WSB users are known to exploit Robinhood problems for fun. There was one case a few years back where they found a way to evade margin requirements and get arbitrarily high leverage, for example. If I were Vlad Tenev, I'd be seriously concerned that a detailed description of which kinds of trades cause problems for Robinhood would be used to collect WSB accolades by knocking the company over.

Quite a brush to put all wsb "accolades" in the same bucket. I could say some very nasty things about some ycombinator "accolades" as well.

That's a dubious way to refer to people. There are 7.5 million users in the sub at the moment.
