Why does Forbes post intentionally misleading charts?

The one for Bluesky goes from 9M DAU -> 3.5M DAU

The one for X goes from 149M DAU -> 128M DAU

Yet, the Y axis of both charts are wildly out of proportion to make it look like they are equivalent, which is also implied by the headline but clearly not true.

Also, neither is zero based, making a 60% drop (bluesky) and a 15% drop (x) look comparable.
