It would also help if the graphs in the post started at 0 stars on the y-axis, because the drops look much more severe than they really are.
I imagine in an ultra-competitive niche that the drop in the third graph from 4.72 to 4.54 could be a painful drop, but the first graph has a drop of .03 stars, and the second is a drop of .05 stars. Perfectly in line with a very slight adjustment (though I'm sure it's alarming when you first notice it happening).
To be fair, the graph formatting doesn't look like the author's fault, just the analytics page automatically zooms and crops like that.
