This is exactly what I do personally, and RobinHood allows me to buy gradually in small increments to minimize fluctuation in my cash emergency fund. If I were to buy $100 in ETF shares at a traditional brokerage I'd start down something like 10% on fees alone.

But short term trading at traditional brokerages is even worse. You loose money to commissions in addition to whatever you loose through trading.
There's nothing stopping someone from doing long-term investing with ETFs in Robinhood, is there?
