I remember when people got upset by things like this. I wonder why it's "ok" now.
The people who pointed it out got tired, and most people will come to accept anything that doesn't directly harm them if they're not repeatedly informed why it's bad.
People started replying with "nerd-face-emojo acthually" to make fun of anyone that points this shit out.
I remember all the anti-establishment, anti-sellout, anti-consumerist comics from the 1980's.
Pancreatic cancer did Bill Hicks a huge fucking favor.
The rest of us are poorer for it. Here’s Tom with the weather.
It can in some cases be beneficial to have a windowed graph like that. Most of the time I see one it is just misleading though.
I'd argue it's only useful when you have more than two data points. With only two, it's almost always going to be misleading in some way at a glance.
