Why HN links it
HN readers link this post on the GameStop saga, which argues the Robinhood story is really hedge funds against hedge funds and Wall Street, with Robinhood as a fig leaf. One commenter says its sidebars explain the jargon.

What Hacker News says?
I just learned about the Citadel/Robinhood connection from this https://marketsweekly.ghost.io/what-happened-with-gamestop/ , which the author https://twitter.com/alexisgoldstein/status/13546053632874864... explained as "Why it's not Robinhood/Reddit vs. Hedge Funds. It's Hedge Funds vs. Hedge Funds vs. Wall Street, with Robinhood as a fig leaf". The sidebars in the article explain a lot of the lingo.
