Has anybody else noticed that the depth chart has been quirky/wrong for the last few days?

Yes seeing the same thing here. Market depth has been quite broken the past few days. Like it's missing data or something.

it looks like a deliberate attempt to affect market price. it works like this: site owner chooses if he wants to drive the price up or down. if he chooses up, then some fake buy orders are placed near current price and real sell order near current price are gradually removed.

yesterday it was set to drive up, now its set to drive down. here is a screenshot picturing removal of real orders (the flat green line, the step around 613 is a fresh order and it was removed a few seconds after taking this screenshot):
