In 2023 Robinhood killed the chart that compared your portfolio to any stock you want, and called it "temporary." It's 2026.

Summary
The post criticizes Robinhood for removing the "Returns Comparisons" chart feature in 2023 and not restoring it for self-directed accounts (only available in paid Robinhood Strategies).
The author's thesis is that this feature is essential for retail investors to measure performance against benchmarks like VOO, BTC, or individual stocks, and its removal hurts self-directed users.

In summer 2023, Robinhood added "Returns Comparisons" to the investing chart on the home screen. You could overlay your portfolio against VOO (S&P 500), BTC, ETH, and individual stocks, right on the main chart. It was genuinely useful. At a glance you knew whether your own picks were beating the index, or whether you'd have been better off just buying VOO.
On September 27, 2023, Robinhood sent an in-app announcement saying the feature was "temporarily unavailable." That was nearly three years ago. It never came back for self-directed accounts. The only place it survives is Robinhood Strategies, their paid managed account.

This is the single most useful number for anyone who picks their own stocks, and every major competitor lets you do this. Robinhood did it better than most, right on the home screen, and then pulled it.
The ask: bring "Returns Comparisons" back to self-directed accounts, the same home-chart overlay against any stock, ETF, or crypto.
If anyone from Robinhood sees this: the feature already exists in Strategies, so this is mostly a matter of switching it back on for the rest of us.
