Well there are two warring factions in the sub. Make the data too pretty and the people will just say "why couldn't this just be a line chart?" but if you make it too boring people will say "how is this beautiful?" hilariously you can't win either way.

Moral of the story, do whatever you want and let the haters hate.

I disagree, you are kind of suggesting that making a pie chart or a bar chart 3D makes it beautiful. Maybe we should define what beautiful means. There are definitely examples where the representation of the data highlights some additional information, pattern, or interpretation, that would otherwise be missed. This is what makes a data representation beautiful.

Death taxes and comments complaining about how the data isn’t actually beautiful.
