    If you saw why people would criticise it then you’d… edit the post, recapture the graph with an accurate visual representation including the zero on the Y axis?

      Well…

      • that’s how the website displayed the graph when I took that screenshot, I’m pretty sure you can’t modify the axis
      • I’m not on my computer at the moment, editing is the most I can do right now
      • if you can capture the graph with 0 on the Y axis, please post it below and I’ll update the picture

      It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

        5% is noticeable unless the graph is under 20 pixels tall. Even then, dithering or antialiasing techniques could make it visible.

          There are people here who didn’t even notice the axis and are confused. How do you expect everyone to notice a 5% drop lol.

            Well if they didn’t even notice an axis on a graph, they might be too stupid for a graph…

            My point was only to say that 5% is very mich visible on a 0-100% graph.

              My point is that it is hardly visible and doesn’t show the exact numbers properly. I prefer the current style of graph for showing sudden changes if the previous data points isn’t that important in the context. But everyone has their preference I suppose.

      Or just inform the other adults to consult the axis for clarification.
