Not sure if you are joking or not, but I’m pretty sure that only shows a default starting position of the “gauge”, and not the rating it has received so far. It’s bad design because it looks like everything is left-leaning, but I guess they wanted to uae a gauge in the neutral position as an illustration. I might be wrong though…

The thing that says “click to rate” and has the pointer arm off the chart in it’s default “rest” position.
Right, it’s right there
Thanks for breaking down how poorly this bias indicator is implemented. That is the point that I wanted to make.
