    That graph is so misleading. Makes it look like almost all the users disappeared but the Y axis only covers a small range at the top.

      The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn’t nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed

      I captured the graph with the number after the decrease at the bottom right to try to show the number of lost users, but I see where you come from

        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

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

      no it’s not?

      you can see the axes and op even mentions that it’s a 5% drop

      the graph is clearly just fitted to the data

        That’s the problem. It’s heavily skewed when compared to the greater overall engagement statistics.
