minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish21•9 months agoNo it doesn’t. It’s meant to illustrate a change and it does so perfectly fine. It’s not a scientific paper. It’s a 32-34% increase looking at the graph. That’s significant enough to shout about. Imagine any change you could make surprising competition by 25% in any market. That’s huge.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish44•9 months ago It’s meant to illustrate a change and it does so perfectly fine Define “perfectly fine”. It is clearly exaggerating the change. At a glance it looks more like a 5 times increase, not a 30% increase.
