    So what you say is, that I should put A LOT OF EFFORT into figuring out the validity, because OP put ZERO EFFORT into it, and just research the entire thing myself? Typing manually what OP could have just copy-pasted. That’s INSANE!

    If OP want’s to show something, and maybe make a point, why not include the link where he got the picture from? It’s a simple copy-paste! It’s insane that people find this to be OK, when it’s basically not much more than noise without the source.

      If you don’t want to spend the time, you could have simply critiqued the image for being hard to read and interpret, as you are doing now - and requested they provide the source of the image (or the data). That would have been perfectly valid - as this image has seemingly gone through a lot of jpeg-ification and screeshotting, making captions and labels hard to read.

        Yeah I could, I guess I was a bit annoyed by the laziness of the post.
        And I maintain it’s bad style to not include a simple link to where “he” got the photo.
        As someone else mentioned, that’s how fake news are often spread.
