Original explanation :

Progress against higher poverty lines has been large, too. The share living on less than $5 a day has declined from 57% to 25%, and the share living on less than $10 a day has declined from 74% to 53%.

The website you linked to had no sources. The picture can say whatever it wants, but if the article itself doesn't cite it, how can I take it seriously?

Also, you're the one presenting the claim, why didn't you post a direct link to the source? Do it now.

    The article has the graph which has the source written in it.

    Also it's Our world in data, whose research team is based at the University of Oxford. Not some random picture off 4chan by an anonymous author.

    I don't find data from Oxford all that trustworthy either. Unless it's been cross examined and peer reviewed, I don't trust shit.

    Oxford lol. The home of trust fund babies and rapists? Lmao even.
