To be pedantic, a median is not a ratio. That's the average.

- mrpf1ster 5y agoThe statistic he is analyzing here is median revenue per content creator, not just median revenue. The numerator is the median revenue and the denominator is the number of content creators.

- Hello71 5y agothat's not how medians work. if 100 creators make $100 each, then the median income is $100. if you divide it again by 100, then you'll get $1/creator^2 which is a nonsense number.
- dragonwriter 5y agoYeah, “numerator” should be “measure” and denominator should be “universe of analysis”, but the criticism was coherent even with the terminological errors. You’ve got the median of an undercount of revenue, across a population padded with an unknown number of not-actively-used accounts, each of which, on its own, would result in an artificially low result compared to the actual value of interest.
