The pie chart has multiple segments with the same colors, how is one supposed to parse it?
I do not understand how one can write an entire article about a set of data and then not present it in a way that is comprehensible?
Edit: Just discovered that hovering over the segments of the chart will bring up a tooltip with the name of the segment if JS is enabled, but this is not obvious to readers and I still don't think this is a good way to present data.
- szszrk 3y agoA pie chart, while fun, is seldom a good way to present data at all.

- rob74 3y agoYeah, a bar chart would have probably been better in this case, then you would have been able to see the number of secrets at a glance by looking at the y axis.
- pimlottc 3y agoEven if they didn't repeat, that's just way too many colors for me to be able to tell which labels are for which segments. Anything more than a handful of colors should have arrows or labels next to the segments or something like that.
