StubHub definitely jobs these charts.... if you limit your search to $395 or less, it encompasses all the tallish columns in that chart and represents 99 listings
Whereas if you have no price limit, it's 205, despite the chart hardly showing any in those columns...

Ye gads the near identical hatching on that graphic to show crucially opposite runoff trends is inexcusable!

Line chart of Japan, South Korea and China GDP over 3 different timespans, logged. Wants to show China following the pattern of the other two, which it doesn't.
This week in #chartcrimes : this FT chart. Logging GDP is often sensible, as is benchmarking it to another country's, but doing both seems misleading - the gaps at the end are actually massive (30% vs 63% vs 80%)
It also has an unusable x-axis, where the year labels refer only to the China series.

This has got to stop @bbcstrictly! (You did it last year, too.) This is not a legit use of a pie chart (the way you explained it). There’s a trade off between “educate” and “entertain” and this was not a good balance. #chartcrimes #dataisbeautiful #StrictlyComeDancing

Totally normal chart, but it took LSD about 36 minutes ago and holy shit it feels funny.

Looks like 1940 threw a lot of streamers at 1980.

looks like a couple of skateboard park features in bright complementary colours; apprently it shows South Australian revenue and expenditure

It's like if a graph asked you the question, what if a domestic water feature was very square?

it's meant to be a graph but it looks like an AI tried to make an origami concertina
A thread of mystifying and hilarious data visualisations from the "Australians" books, published in 1987 by the Australian Government. (originally brought to my attention by @mikejbeggs.bsky.social )

This absurd chart is from Foot Locker today, but every public retailer has a similar chart.
I assume they're just not adjusting for the number of transactions, so one-time customers are single channel by default?

Maybe the silliest chart ever created, and I mean, FinTwit is the home of #ChartCrimes so that's saying something. https://x.com/2ndadopter/status/699963596382470145
