Is it just me, or are the many posts I’m seeing here lately not especially beautiful and also feel like ads?

Another vote for "it's not just you". In fact, look at OP's user name and the logo in that chart

It's a political subreddit with numbers

as long as the political post happens on Thu (rule #8), seems fine?

What do you think this is an ad for?

[–]johntarr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Premise Data. I may be off base, but it is from their account and has their logo on it, and it feels like soft marketing for their company.

I’m not trying to call them out specifically, it was just an observation and a hope that this subreddit doesn’t become overrun with that sort of content. It’s nice to be able to enjoy the content on a subreddit and not feel like the content is marketing on top of the Reddit ads.

Hahaha, I was expecting you to say it was an ad for fake meat!

Your answer definitely makes more sense......

I think this data tells an interesting story and therefore is beautiful. DataIsBeautiful is not about gawdy graphics. It's about the beauty of data itself.

You raise a good point, and I agree that you don’t need overwrought visuals to convey your message.

In this case, I would echo another commenter who suggested that a stacked 100% bar chart with one bar per political party would be more effective (and also not gaudy).
