Question was asked on:

Now for some weaknesses. The average Robinhood user has around $5,000 per account vs the average Charles Schwab user, which has around $100,000 per account. The Median amount in a Robinhood account is even lower at $240. This limits Robinhood's resources to grow. By contrast, Charles Schwab makes 50% of its revenue purely off interest from its users' accounts, which reached as high as $6.1 billion in 2020.

This payment structure is also an external threat against Robinhood, as the SEC recently fined the company $65M for misleading users with the process.
