I don't quite grasp why they use those spiral graphs in the article. They don't seem to give any more information that a plan old line graph would.

- m3mnoch 12y agoprobably because according to pi * d, they can squeeze more data in the chart and still fit within the width of that layout column. that's just a guess tho.
- username3 12y agoGraphs were better back then.
- jjaredsimpson 12y agothe data isn't periodic. its just a stupid display choice that actually makes it harder to see the slope of the graph
- breadbox 12y agoThe circular areas are presumably meant to suggest the number of artists at each level. The innermost circle contains only 1/7th of the total number of names, etcetera. (Though this would have been more appropriate if each ring had increased by the square, instead of linearly.)
- blt 12y agoIt's awful.
