plotting a scatter plot with wide range data

[myusername]

I am trying to plot two columns. The first one shows the number of likes, and the second shows the number of shares. I want to show the relationship between the number of shares when people actually like a post.

The problem is my likes count starts from 1 to 1 million, and the shares count start from 5 to 37000.

When I use this code to plot a scatter plot. It looks messy.

plot(as.numeric(topMedia$shares_count),as.numeric(topMedia$likes_count))

what would be a better way to show the relationship between those values?
Thanks .

Hi!

To help us help you, could you please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue? Please have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
