That graph looks exaggerated but this is over a few days which is crazy
It is misleading. In a reputable graph, your y axis would start at zero
Nah. I hear your complaint but look up any stock ticker. Starting at 0 would simply cause too much white space and make it hard to see movements.
The y-axis is clearly labeled allowing us to see that it’s about a 40% jump.
No the axis shows a detailed increase with clearly stated numbers. This is just the first impression.
We are not talking about Apple graph madness
Not really, no. You use a point of reference that's clearly labeled. If you'd start the graph at zero, you would just end up with a lot of dead space.
