Favorite trick of statistics and media 😎

When a new product is released, all articles chant:
There has been a catastrophic growth. The second period surpassed the first with an incredible margin. Unambiguously positive dynamics.

But if you look closely, the Y-axis is truncated. And if you set it from zero, all the growth goes down the drain.

And if you nitpick, it's not a lie. The numbers are correct, just a clever use of functionality.

I broke down these problems in a new article:
