Anectodel: I used to play a lot of poker in my teens but since I couldn't afford to buy in with real money I went to free to play sites and you had people going all-in and doing crazy moves left and right. As you said this'll most likely happen here aswell but I still think it's a neat idea to get some genuinely interested newcomers (like me) to dip into the waters and test out the nuances surrounding investing and trading. It's difficult for some people to find a start and something liek this this can be a way to go. I am currently also using the demo version of Etoro. I'm not sure if I am going to use that platform in any way shape or form but they give you 100k in virtuell currency to just go at it and try out. I obviously dipped into the red a good amount initially but I'm getting the kicks of in and climbing my way back up. Gives me somewhat of a reference of what to do and what not to do.
