I'm pretty sure the McDonald's one is false, which makes me think all of the others are too. This is a bad faith argument. I'm assuming this is going around TikTok and that's why so many braindead people keep repeating it

Yeah, look at the x axis labels. 5 years, 2 years, and 3 years. WTF?

Not saying it's right, but the spacing makes the drastic changes in 19-21 less obvious by spreading them across a wider area. Same with 21-24, just less so.

A consistently spaced graph would probably be more drastic looking.

Regardless of intent/effect, it's sloppy and does not instill confidence in the data...
