I feel like the topics Priceonomics covers have been getting less interesting over time. I suppose that's natural for a content engine, but this piece left me feeling sort of disenchanted.
I'm used to graphs and visualizations on Priceonomics, and there was a distinct lack of hard data from this piece. It felt much more subjective than what I'm used to.
In short, I don't doubt the conclusion, but this doesn't feel like a normal priceonomics piece. Just my $.02.

- rdl 13y agoThe genius of the blog was taking on the surface boring topics and, through quality analysis, doing something awesome. That might be hard to identify programmatically.
