I think in the end of the day it is our responsibility to understand what we are getting ourselves into.

It is but at the same time, I’m not sure whether the majority of users do. After all, if more users were aware of this, would they use these platforms?

I think this thread is as good as any.

On the subject of CFD brokers, they now have to display a message with the % if retail investors who lose money. It’s more than a bit jaw dropping

Trading212 - 80%
IG - 79%
Saxo - 69%
eToro - 64%
IB - 62%

(Source - their respective websites. Hidden at the bottom, if they could use size 1 type they would)

The best performing of those has 62% of retail investors lose money. That’s just insane

But in all honestly not even the NY STOCK EXCHANGE is educating their users on investing or exactly how it works. Its the same crap

There’s quite a big difference between buying stocks via the NYSE & using things like leverage in my humble opinion.
