Ha, he did a similar stunt with Paypal, which he acquired and then forced ppl to call him a founder.

Nearly half the revenue goes into marketing and sales? Goes to show how much effort they have to undertake to sell their confusing mess.

Yep, but by now I am quite settled on "no fit at all is the best fit here".

In the end, fits often are used to simplify things so that they can be used in simplified thinking or modeling. Which always breaks down in complex, non-linear cases like this is one.

I get that, but is that the way of the Jedi, or did you give in to the dark side?

The fact that something gave you a good metric while very obviously being wrong tells us how useless that metric actually is.

At least you pointed out the most evil country, so overall, the graph is very useful.

Haha, okay, caught me off guard.

On a more serious note: Fitting a hyperbole or exponential curve with negative exponent might work better here. Or f = exp(-a*x) + C even.

Though tbh, I wouldn't even put a curve in there, as the samples are so vastly different, that I would leave it to the reader's eye to make a conclusion. Which is something where any type of fit is hindering, as it is already (prematurely) suggesting a conclusion.

Repeat after me ... outside of linear systems, line fits are bad.
