They've only stopped the buying, never the selling. Now they're limiting the size of buys starting tomorrow morning. at what size? who knows? What ever Citadel allows them to offer would be my guess.

RH's whole business model is premised on monetizing their clients trades under the guise of being a "free" trading platform via PFOF (payment for order flow). Here's the dirty secret, they aren't the only ones. Virtually all (save one) of other large retail brokers do it too. But it is hard to understand/explain. This article lays it out pretty clearly, but it is more than a 3 minute read.
