Does anyone know the (real) story behind why the Public investing mobile app started doing payment for order flow (PFOF) for options trading?

I’m assuming they were strong-armed into doing so, but would love to know if anyone has the real scoop.

Thank you in advance.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Recently learned that the whole “humans only use 10% of their brain” thing is not true at all. What are some other common science misconceptions?
