  2. What was the thought process that yielded the decision about this being the best visual representation of 4 values?

  3. This is a good chunk of why I decided to delete my account.

  4. A bit much sponsored. But overall the split seems good enough

  5. Do I have to count the rectangles to get quantitative data?

  6. What is the purpose of the boxes? What message is this conveying that a bar or pie/donut chart can’t achieve?

  8. Cool data collection, not necessarily how I would visualize it though.

  9. A pie or donut chart with quantitative labels would be better imo

  10. I don’t understand what I am looking at. It looks consistent but I don’t understand what it’s consistent at? Are the horizontal lines days? I think it is saying that you get about 2 friend posts, then 4 page posts then 2 each of the others? Is it in that order. You’re doing me a confuse

  11. that’s a very weird way to represent frequencies of classes

  12. The biggest issue with this display is the use of color. I guarantee that some folks will have issues distinguishing between the values. I work in digital a11y and the go to for color contrast for differentiation is at least 3:1 for these adjacent colors. Otherwise, rip to your feed

  13. Just a pie chart with data labels showing counts would be more informative in my opinion. Or a bar chart with data labels showing counts. I really don’t mind this representation, but I would like to immediately see the actual information, which without the counts I cannot. I would probably also sort the categories from the most frequent to least.
