The original source[0] (which you don't link to):
>Since SQLite is used extensively in every smartphone, and there are more than 4.0 billion (4.0e9) smartphones in active use, each holding hundreds of SQLite database files, it is seems likely that there are over one trillion (1e12) SQLite databases in active use.
You're changing speculation to a fact.

- avinassh 2y agohey, I do provide all the sources at the end! In the initial draft, I kept links next to text and the images, but I didn't like it aesthetically. So I moved all them to the bottom.
- Kwpolska 2y agoSources at the end without any references to them in the text is not a good way to cite things. There’s no good reason to use images in your post, other than the one graph. Images of text are a necessity on Twitter, but this is a real web page, where you can just have plaintext. Images of text are completely useless for readers with any accessibility needs.
- avinassh 2y ago> The original source[0] (which you don't link to): this is simply untrue! This is the first link in the sources. I do highlight this part specifically in the image as well.
- mtlynch 2y agoI didn't see that, but that's also a non-standard and unclear way to cite a source, which is why I and many others didn't see it. Also, you didn't address my main criticism, which is that you made a claim that's stronger than what your source says.
