That's all just uninformed speculation and guesswork, but if you're so convinced that the platform is being underhand, why are you reluctant to name them?

Because having started a complaint with the Ombudsman, this & other tactics used on the platform I believe are designed malignantly so I don't want for them to be aware as I am sure some of the investment companies are viewing these comments and acting, I'd say 212 is certainly viewing threads as the comments on many of the threads are highly suspicious in my opinion

So it's not Trading 212 then.

What does it matter who is reading these comments, be surprising given the size and demographic of this site if the financial institutions (or at least their marketing/pr functions) were not reading them.

Can think of no reason (other than paranoia) why the OP wouldn't name the institution.

Some of the OP's comments are clearly speculation and based on a misunderstanding of how investment products/companies work. I look forward to them sharing the Ombudsman's decision.

Re T212, suspicious how? Because they’re generally positive?

Unless I'm mistaken, Trading212 makes withdrawals by faster payment. In addition to that, I don't think anyone has mentioned encountering hidden fees before now. So maybe it is just the same T+2 settlement you'll encounter anywhere that you are describing as "designed malignantly". In which case, your complaint is with the stock exchanges. Perhaps stamp duty is the hidden fee.
