Editing to let people know that I will be blocking anyone who feels the need to tell me why this graph is inaccurate. I truly don't care, but feel free to chime in with your useless take and land a spot on my block list! ๐

To be fair, the Y-Axis doesn't start from zero.
That being said, 10% account growth in 2 days is pretty solid. Let's hope both account creation and engagement metrics (MAUs/DAUs) keep growing.
EDIT: Correct Axis type.
Starting the y-axis zero wouldn't change the shape of the curve at all, but it would make the increase seem less dramatic.
It's a ~10% increase, but the scale makes it look like the count shot up by 10x at first glance. I know that's why you always need to look at the axis labels, but graphs like this are purposely presented this way because they're easy to misinterpret for the average person.
It was an error on my part.
