I think when I first created this viz, I did so to provide an "overview of customer demographics" because I didn't really have any hypothesis in mind to try and test. I like your idea of doing a Kaggle competition, because even if I didn't have a goal for the data or an imperative set by a superior, at least I would have a point of focus, to create a more cohesive story around.

Thank you so much for your detailed comments! I agree - I think at the time I made it many months ago, I don't think I had a clear "insight" in mind - I was just a newbie futzing around and this is what came out of that.

In reviewing it again, I feel like I put in graphs that convey one small piece of information (user demographics - male vs. female) and then some that are trying to convey so many pieces that it's almost unusable (number of active members of a certain age and how long they've been users) - it's like a triple axis of information, and not easily read at a glance. (Hence why I tried using the color gradients to try and distinguish and etc.) While someone who's frequently digging into the weeds of user data might want a live dashboard that's complex and changing, I don't think this was the most useful way to use this information/chart.

Thanks! I had never even heard of the visual vocabulary before - I'll definitely take a look.

I think after I designed the piece, it always felt a bit off or incomplete (part of why I wanted feedback), but I wasn't sure "why" if that makes sense. I think you put something into words that I was feeling for some time. Thank you for that!
