It does start at zero. 2000 people per hour

Indeed the right sides of the graph start at 0. The left side does not.

Note that 2000/h (10^3) aren't all that significant when there's already 14000000 (10^7) users present.

Is a quarter percent increase in users in one day meaningful? I have no idea.

Well. It is and it isn't. It's per hour. So per day (24^1) that's 48000 (48*10^3) and per year it's 17532000 (1.7*10^7). That adds up pretty fast, a 100% increase in the full year.

Plus, hey, new friends!
