Kinda shitty of the chart creator to leave out 2018 and 2021. While the point still stands, it biases it against Netflix.

It’s just purposefully misleading. Not cool, chart maker dude. Not cool.

What happened in those years and why were they omitted? It's odd that they just leave it out with (as far as I could tell from the linked source) no explanation for that.

Nothing happened. There was no price increase those years. The chart isn't misleading at all, OP just cut off the title, "Netflix Price Hikes 2011-2023." 2018 and 2021 aren't relevant because there was no change.

This is definitely misleading. It's a time series chart with arbitrary data points just casually missing.
