      They seem to be serious. The more concerning thing is that people are agreeing with them. I guess common sense is not so common.

        I got the same criticism about a similar graph a while ago. Numbers are on the left, people can clearly see how big of a change the graph shows, and I have no way to present the graph differently as it’s straight from the website, but people still want to argue about it

          Tbf graphics like that are commonly used to be deceitful, because people don’t actually check the numbers on the left.

          But in this case I think it probably doesn’t matter lol
