I have to wonder if this is collusion by brokers to throttle trading. IB and robinhood are restricting the stocks that Wallstreetbets investors are trading.
The people who are paying brokers for order flow are most often hedge funds and high frequency traders. Those are the people who are also on the wrong side of these trades and short squeezes. Thus I think the "technical outages" will likely continue from the brokers because they are protecting the people who are paying them since we investors no longer do. The people who pay for order flow are now a broker's customers. We investors are now the product, not the customer. I truly believe we are seeing the downside of "free trades". Nothing is free
