      Could you please clarify why the baseline needs to be at 0? I’m genuinely curious.

      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.
