    Institutional Investors (such as Pension Funds) and Retail are the ones getting properly fleeced in present day markets.

    Retail might have started to get wise on it (frankly I don’t know for sure if that’s the case, as Retail tend to be either naive amateurs or deluded fools, so I’m just trusting what you said on this), but when it comes to Pension Funds people only figure out they’ve been fucked decades later when they try and cash their pensions and it’s a lot more difficult to tease away how it happened when all the money is pretty much in an investment black-box than it is from watching a handful of stocks and ETFs one has invested directly in.
