I won&#x27;t speak for all of HN, but what bugs me about them is that they are using scare tactics &amp; misleading story telling to position themselves as the &quot;good guys&quot; in a fight with the &quot;bad&quot; HFT.<p>In reality their business model is to drive uninformed order flow to highly sophisticated hedge funds &amp; to let those hedge funds deny the rest of us price discovery.<p>That said, I don&#x27;t mind that they exist, I just wish they&#x27;d stop acting like they are doing it for the good of the &quot;average&quot; investor (whatever that is).
