That's what that curve (roughly) looks like, "scaled from zero at the y axis" - it's not my fault the accelerating rate of change is still apparent to anyone who knows how to read a graph - it's going to be apparent no matter how you scale it - "'dems the numbers, doood".
(Hint: if you want it to go away for the innumerate, what you want to do is log scale that axis).
No, it doesn't.
There are 270 units below your current data, and your image manipulation still doesn't show it.
You've made a graph of the icing and cropped out the cake. Squishing the image does not change a thing.
