I remember when people got upset by things like this. I wonder why it's "ok" now.
The people who pointed it out got tired, and most people will come to accept anything that doesn't directly harm them if they're not repeatedly informed why it's bad.
People started replying with "nerd-face-emojo acthually" to make fun of anyone that points this shit out.

It can in some cases be beneficial to have a windowed graph like that. Most of the time I see one it is just misleading though.
