Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

How much are world cup tickets since 1994
Showing graphs not adjusted for inflation by default is disingenuous.
We did not have 500% inflation since 2022...
Edit: The total inflation rate from 2022 (Average) to Apr. 2026 is 13.79%
Neat. Doesn't refute what I said.
It's true taking inflation into account would be useful. But when the increase was 5 to 7 times more in 4 years, inflation would not make a big difference.
Not useful - the proper way to do it.
I appreciate the point you're making. However, even at a glance you can quite easily see there's a sudden jump well beyond inflation. On top of that, they also include a graph that does adjust for inflation. They look very similar. In fact, the only noteworthy difference is that the price (adjusted for inflation) has remained flat until this year, where it suddenly spiked.
I know - I can see too. But you show historic prices graphs adjusted for inflation.
it does show the inflated graphs.
But it doesn't really matter, it is obvious that the prices now are insane compared to:
2014 Brazil ticket prices ranged from €69 and the cheapest tickets for the final were priced at around €288
2018 Russia prices ranged from€79, while the most expensive final ticket in Moscow cost around €950
2022 Qatar ranged from€450 up to €1,000 or more.
Qatar was just scummy. The US following their lead is the same.
Yes it does. There's literally no reason to not just show the adjusted for inflation graphs.
They do show them. But the point is the crazy difference is noticed because it's so high, even without knowing the inflation rate.
But as mentioned. The charts with inflation are there.
They hide them as secondary images. There is literally no reason to show unadjusted numbers for this.
Now who's being disingenuous..
They don't 'hide' them, they literally have a big banner across the chart telling users that 'this chart is without inflation, scroll over for one with inflation'.
At a guess (I don't know) I would imagine that the reason for the charts without inflation is to show users the original prices that they saw when they were collecting their data. It's the equivalent to saying something like "The prices were €100 back then, which, when adjusted for inflation is around €128 today".
I don't know why you're moaning here about it anyway, if it bothers you that much, why not contact the site admin or whoever compiled it and moan at them. Maybe you'll find out the exact reason that they have done it like that too 🤷
Sorry - what word would you use for "not visible" then? I didn't say they weren't available. They are... hidden.
Because it calls into question the competence and motivation of the people who produced the charts.
They are not hidden. They are the 2nd slide of 2 slides, and it is clearly written:
If you can see the chart, you can see that text.
But, again, if you want to call in their competence or motivation, why not contact them and moan to them instead of doing it here? It achieves nothing.
It says scroll but it means next image in the carosel.
