    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

        Cool then it should be 5.5% of the visual space for it to not be misleading. But it’s represented much larger. And OP is (edit to sound less mean) not updating the post sooo

        Exactly. Not the over a million that it looks like at a glance.

        The user count isn’t helpful anyway, active users is a much better measure.

      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.

          It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

            5% is noticeable unless the graph is under 20 pixels tall. Even then, dithering or antialiasing techniques could make it visible.
