      Sorry for getting annoyed when people needlessly correct others to make themselves seem smart.

        Eh… It’s important to not spread misinformation and correct it when you see it.

        It’s also important to just be ok with being wrong and get on with your life. No emotion needed.

          I am very willing to admit when I’m wrong. However, the original post is not misinformation. The line on the graph is nearly vertical. That is objectively true. Even going back 120 days, the last few days are clearly vertical, and a sharp jump in users from previous time periods.

          People just like to correct people to make themselves feel smart, and I have very little patience for that sort of thing. If someone makes a legitimate correction or proves to me that I am wrong, I am happy to be corrected, but needless and inaccurate corrections are just irritating.
