Why it spread
It spread because an unusual chart type that explains itself earned 32 likes, 3 reposts, 17 saves and 1,782 views, with a quote rate in the bottom quarter and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The chart type is unusual, which makes people stop and look.
- The chart explains itself, so viewers get the point without extra text.
- The post is tied to a timely roundup of topics, which gives people a reason to save and share it.
What to borrow

Careful
Do not over-read the spread: quotes were zero62 and the quote rate sits in the bottom quarter, so this is not a debate-driving post, and the account's typical performance is unknown.
