That other fruits are rotten does not weaken the assertion that this particular fruit is rotten. I don't think anyone is claiming that every fault that Robinhood has is unique.


But it does weaken the argument of "why isn't everyone bringing this up more?"

If they have a normal amount of outages, then the outages aren't brought up because that's boring.


They don't have a normal amount of outages. They have more outages. It's a significant amount of outages. It's already been the subject of complaints previously.

Services occasionally experiencing unexpected outages doesn't make them a rotten fruit. By that metric, literally every single complex online service in existence is rotten. Given how rare those outages are, and how they are all not happening at the same time across different brokerages, I wager to say it is normal with nothing nefarious going on. Unless you expect a complex online service to have zero downtime ever, which is just unrealistic.
