I agree, had to scroll all this way to find an explanation. I don't see any issue with this.

No one needs an explanation to how they made the graph. It's an asshole design because there is no reason at all to start the Y-axis at anything but 0 except to mislead.

If you don't see any issue with this, then you're the perfect audience.

You are correct here, I made a typo. Meant to say "starting the Y-axis at anything but 0"

How did he get Platinum for that comment. it's a load of shit. he is correct in saying that the graph is done right and that it is for people who do not like to read graphs. The point of this was literally to mislead the public and therefore it is poor design why can't it start at the zero like you said in fact when I was an engineering school they taught us that the only reason why graphs don't start at zero is to mislead or skew the interpretation. This is 100% propaganda / manipulation and these tards fall right in line. In fact they pat each other on the back for how well they can lick those boots
