minus-squareRoss_audio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 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-squarePotatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoDid you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976, if these trends continue…AY!
minus-squareSorteKanin@feddit.dklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 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.
minus-squareArtVandelay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoOf lies, damned lies, and statistics this graph is certainly one of them.
minus-squaregeissi@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months ago It’s a 32-34% increase looking at the graph 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.
minus-squareHobbes@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoYou 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.
minus-squareRoss_audio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoA 0.001 difference on a 0.004 total would be worth showing.
minus-squareHobbes@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoThat was a bad example. Try 1,000,000 moving up to 1,000,069.
minus-squareRoss_audio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-28 months agoI’m sticking with relevance. A >25% rise is what we’re talking about.

True.
But you don’t get that percentage from looking at the graph. You get that from looking at the numbers.
