This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is this graph supposed to be useful in any way? It excludes a huge number of voices from the left and also have a bunch of circles without names and just some random 1.1m or 2m NR on them but without any indication of who they represent more than their color.

Elmo how could you! How dare you display data on a format that poorly communicated the data! You were supposed to be better than this!

I still can't believe we're going back to the days of muppet robber barons, beating up schoolchildren for enough lunch money to "respool their bobbins" (elmo made me censor that)
