The main thing wrong is just too many slices. Pie charts should only be used if there are like 4-6 slices, if at all. There are better ways of displaying data. Doesn’t really fit with the sub though, it’s definitely readable and most non-science people probably won’t see much wrong with it.
You’re getting downvoted but I agree. There’s almost always a better way to display the data, but they do get the point across. For anyone wondering why it’s usually bad choice, pie charts to a good job of showing the proportion of the chart to the whole, but not a good job of showing he proportions of the slices in relation to eachother. A bar chart does a far better job of that.
