Original Note:
NNN: for time-series graphs such as the one in this tweet, there's generally no need to include zero in the axes, as the point is making the variation over time visible. It isn't inherently "statistical misrepresentation" to truncate the axes for this type of plot. https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00003q https://callingbullshit.org/tools/tools_misleading_axes.html
