I don't frequent /r/wsb, but the onus should not be on the SEC to clamp down on a community, it should be on the service the "significant young people" are using to execute satirical investment advice.

For example, if Robinhood wants to gamify everything, then advanced trading opportunities should be part of some built-in experience-based level up system. E.g. you can't trade options until you have made X classic trades, or after you've completed X days of simulated advanced trading.

It already is a thing on all brokerages, including RH. If you go into your portfolio in the app, there are different option trading levels (which is standardized across the industry), and you can get upgraded to the next level as you do trades over time. You cannot just jump to level 3 as soon as you install the app. While I cannot comment on how their algorithms for upgrade eligibility work, it already exists in the same shape and form as on all other brokerage services.
