    No 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.

      Define “perfectly fine”. It is clearly exaggerating the change. At a glance it looks more like a 5 times increase, not a 30% increase.

        Of lies, damned lies, and statistics this graph is certainly one of them.

      But you don’t get that percentage from looking at the graph. You get that from looking at the numbers.
      The graph height increases by 300% in the last 3 months 9 days.

      You could say the same about a 0.001 difference if you zoom in on the y-axis. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

        A 0.001 difference on a 0.004 total would be worth showing.

            I’m sticking with relevance. A >25% rise is what we’re talking about.
