1. Not sure when it became popular to use gdpr-banner-sized text for the title but use ant-sized font for labels and axis text
2. I wonder if not starting the y axis from $0 has the opposite effect to what is intended. So instead of me thinking “wow it went up 10x!”, I slowly (thanks to #1) realized it’s only 2x and thought “that’s not much I guess, on to the next Reddit post”. If it were 2x to begin with, I might have concluded it was a big change.

Why not start the y-axis on 0$?
