    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.

      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.
