I had locked this thread, but I thought I'd rather unlock it than create a new one. I just came across another example.

The number of Bitcoin and other crypto ATMs has kept increasing this year.

It is clear what the title means, isn't it? Let's look at the OP:

There was a notable decline in Bitcoin or crypto ATMs, with the worldwide count falling from 39,541 to 32,471 by July 2023. But it seems the tide is changing and there has been an increase in the establishment of more crypto ATMs. Currently, there are 38,279 crypto ATMs, indicating that 5,808 machines have been added over the past 11 months.

Just this year about 2,564 cryptocurrency ATMs have been installed which is above the 2,861 machines removed last year. Bitcoin Depot, Coinflip, and Athena Bitcoin are the major ATM operators and Australia seems to be the country with the fastest growth in Bitcoin installation. Other countries such as Spain, Poland, El Salvador, Poland, Germany, and Hong Kong are also experiencing an increase in Bitcoin installations.

Bitcoin ATM might have its shortcomings but its spread is showing that Bitcoin adoption is growing even in the face of stringent government policies.

I have bolded something that doesn't add up. 2.564 is not bigger than 2.861 obviously and it is something that nobody has commented on. But if you look at the first comment:

This was a mistake from me and I take responsibility for that. I have corrected the mistake on the original post. Maybe most people who commented on the thread didn't see the error because the message was clear and understandable. It would have been better if you corrected me on the thread so that other readers would get the correct information. Anyway, thank you for the heads-up.
