This has been going on for 5+ years, the market is no more rigged now than then. The first question is does it hurt retail investors and the simple answer is no not yet. They aren't front running your 10 shares of coca cola. The biggest problem is they "bring liquidity" which is bullshite because when the market stabilizes at that level of liquidity and then they shut it down the flash crashes occur and it goes haywire.
Question two: is technology/speed a symptom of capitalism and why aren't all institutional investors doing high speed trading? This I don't know and I don't know if it's rigged or just using tools at their disposal.
In conclusion I think it is a problem due to their control over the market and creation of more systemic risk. Not because they are using the tools available to EVERY institutional (see majority of volume) investor.
