Also notice how "Revenue" in blue and "Advertising" in purple do not have their values shown directly on the bars unlike all the other data. In addition to the value squishing, this second sleight of hand also makes it more difficult to gauge the true value of "Government funding" in pink at a glace, which is exactly the effect those who made this infographic were hoping to achieve.
I also complain that the government funding is lumped with the revenue.
Yeah, blue and purple are totally pointless except to make it look like there's more non-government funding. They added two more colours for no reason.

I will grant, they fixed the issue in later reports.
But I notice that the funding situation isn't relying any less on government subsidy in 2022.
