Not 75%. It only looks like that. It's actually 98.2% in two years. That's exactly why the post distorts the data.

Yeah ok it's 75% from 2019 to 2021 but compared to the absolute difference between 2017 and 2018 it's nothing.

How can you say making something 75% cheaper in 2 years is nothing lmfao? What the fuck are you on. Of course once you get to a certain point the absolute numbers are going to look small but that's still huge improvements.

If something cost a billion $ and you brought the price down to a million $, I’m pretty sure you’d think dropping it from a million to 250k is pretty great too.
