    Misleading graph trying to make a 150% increase look like a 1000% increase.

      Read the left side? 7k-11k, the removed useless information, provided you read what is actually there first.

          If you don’t how are you supposed to know what information it’s telling you? It could shades of purple for all you know.

                you say that as if everyone analyses every aspect of everything they encounter. most people will glance at the graph, see a huge jump, and not look into it more. that’s why statistics are so easy to falsify or make misleading

                  If you want to engage in a conversation or use that information, yes you should properly read it. What could possibly be added to a discussion otherwise? Just having people have to correct and call out your bullshit? Lmfao.

                  Since you are engaging in comments within a post about this, everyone would assume you read the graph properly, since you obviously can’t add to a conversation without actually knowing the information.

                  So yes, leave your idiocy elsewhere next time, read the shit, or don’t add your opinion, really simple concept.
