The hourly one is cleaner and more readable only because they've insisted on using a symbol for each datum which obscures the line itself... I'd like this one 6 times more than the original, otherwise. Personally, I don't understand why anyone would want to look at timeseries data with anything less than the maximum possible information density & precision (accuracy is not the problem). Maybe if you're looking for cleanliness/aesthetic reasons, but that's not really the point of these charts. Obviously if they are noisy something needs to be done. But binning only really makes sense to me in histograms, not timeseries.
