I’ll never stop complaining about Y axis that don’t start at zero.
If that means the change isn’t noticable, then the change isn’t noticable.
Yeah when I showed the cop the graph of my speed before getting in my car to be 67000mph (speed of the earth around the sun) to 67080mphwhen I was driving it he couldn’t see the difference so I didn’t get the ticket.
Or sometimes choosing a common-sense reference makes sense.
Which isn’t to say THIS one does, it doesn’t, but the absolutism of “it’s nerf or nothing” is a tad extreme.
Well, it does make sense, doesn’t it?
What we’re interested in is not the number of users, but the trends: whether the number is increasing or decreasing over time. Starting the axis at 0 would not be useful in this regard, as the trend would be almost completely obscured.
For something like that, you need a special graph, and I forget the name because no one uses it.
Y axis is “percent growth” and the X axis isn’t at the bottom, it’s in the middle.
Like, the only way I can describe it is a line graph because it technically is, but there’s some name done it.
Capitalism doesn’t like it tho, because there’s “red numbers” and red numbers scare investors
