- echoangle 2y agoAt this point, you can just show the entire histogram.
- giantg2 2y agoTrue. My main point is that almost everytime I read something about "average" hours spent playing games or whatever, it turns out to be a hack job. Like why use average if you have a bunch of zeros in it? What does that average actually tell us? Usually nothing useful. Metrics like what percentage of teens/men/etc play games now vs 10 years ago, or of the people who play at all, how many hours do they play now vs 10 years ago, etc would be so much more useful than what they gave because the increase in average hours played might only be due to fewer zeros being in the dataset.
