I just simply don't believe that. I think it's others ideology which is clouding their ability to just take the information for what it's worth.I'm not sure, maybe he's trying to justify that all digital future, or his new engagement tracker. It doesn't need to be financially motivated or self serving. His confirmation bias could just be driven by his own ideology.
All I know is that the only reason somebody would go back 4 years to some extreme change in circumstance to show a bigger difference than is currently happening isn't showing a general trend. Showing YoY increases or declines is a "trend", purposely seeking the biggest number in special circumstances and not explaining that reasoning isn't. Comparing it to irrelevant stats like physical vs mtx/mobile/VR to try and make numbers look inconsequentially small isn't showing 'trends' either.
A 5 year time span is pretty normal for representing recent trends in an industry.
