In 2020, a year when Robinhood added 7.4 million net funded accounts, it spent $186 million on marketing—or $25 per account. In the latest quarter, it spent $44 million on marketing, or about $147 per net new account.

User growth numbers had made up for the company’s other shortcomings, including the fact that most of its customers had very small balances, with a median balance of $240 as of last February.

I imagine going to get an order of magnitude worse with this latest market downturn. A whole generation has gotten used to the market always going up.
