You’re looking at it from your brain and not the populations brain, if it was more likely to make money with a million different stories it would. All of humanity only has so much room in their head for the news and the news knows that if they want any two people to be discussing and thinking the same things at the same time, otherwise being valuable as β€œnews” then they’ll have to focus their attention

I’d also like to point out that these are the stories that are the top 10 not the thousands of other stories made every single day and fighting for these slots

Hi Reddit! I've been producing analysis on news stories for awhile now, so I figured I should post to Reddit to get some feedback.

You can find this visualization daily along with others at my Substack: https://partisanplayground.substack.com/

My intention is to add more GPT-driven content in the future.

You can also find these visualizations and analysis of tweets at my Twitter account: https://twitter.com/PartisanPlayG

The source for the data in this visualization is news articles taken from 64 news outlets. Articles are clustered into stories on a daily basis and plotted with ggplot2. This particular visualization uses the ggsankey package.

Source: Various quizzes on Sporcle

Tools used: Excel

Methodology/other bits: Not very complicated, just did each quiz and took the top and bottom in the stats.

What fascinates me is that the least memorable ones are quite uniform? Most of them either fall into a category of "spiny sea thing", "mushroom thing" or "thing that looks like a bell". Not quite sure if they're the least cute, but I feel there's something there...

>why are there 0 artists from Brazil and Mexico in Latin America's top 10?

Because you just took your list from the most streamed artists globally, and just assumed that represented latin american audience aswell, to go even futher to say Puerto Rico and Colombia is Latin American music capitals based on that is just wrong on so many levels

I've seen the source of this graph and it's just the most streamed latin american artists globally.

That doesnt take into account nations with a more insular music culture like Brazil, this chart from the most streamed music 2 days ago represents alot more acurratly who the average Brazilian streams.

What annoys me the most is the fact this graph is just misslabeled and painting a very large wrong picture of the region, it makes no sence for Brazil and Mexico, two nations with massive local music industries and population to not be on a list about latin american audience, unless you group in American and European audience giving the American based artists that have a more global appel a massive advantage
