Logarithmic cannot start at 0 and would have equal spacing between 500, 1000 and 2000.
I am confused because the font seems to be Aptos, the current default in Micro$oft Office, but Excel does not allow any other type of scale on X-Y plots.
Every time a number doubles (or increases 10×, or 𝑒×, whatever), it moves a constant distance on a log scale because its base-whatever logarithm increases by a constant amount. Hence my expectation of equal distance from 500 to 1000 and 1000 to 2000. I am ignoring 1500 here because it does not form a geometric sequence with any two other numbers so it can’t easily be used for this check.
The scale is neither linear nor logarithmic. What?
How else can you make it look like a linear grouping?
Data processing isn’t about making it look like something unless you are purposefully manipulating it.
But that’s what happened here. The x-axis has been unevenly distributed.
I think it is logarithmic, it’s just marked linearly.

That’s not equal spacing - 1000-1500 is a bit longer than 1500-2000.
The graph is almost certainly logarithmic. Only the markings are stupid.
