In particular Edouard of Our World In Data said that they really care about their graphs being understood well and that when they see a graph being mistaken or with a bad legend they change it.
I think this is the right approach to ensure that graphs are shared with context.
Really appreciate this thread ^. I’m impressed that something misleading got pointed out by Nathan/Sabs and then was immediately improved.
Minor comment: I’d maybe re-title the image to something like “For each species, an estimate of their welfare range” or “Estimated welfare ranges per year of life of different species” ? I find “Placeholder Welfare Range Estimates (Life Years)” somewhat hard to parse. Although having written this, I’m not sure that my suggestions are better.
(And thanks for writing the post and working on this project!)
Re: the title of the image, that’s a helpful suggestion. I’m genuinely unsure what’s best. The most accurate title would be something like, “Welfare range estimates by species for welfare-to-DALYs-averted conversions,” but that doesn’t win any awards for accessibility.

I’ve redone the summary image, Nathan. Thanks again for recommending this.

Good of you to say, Lizka. Thanks.
