What to borrow
We can attach our own charts to a current, widely felt change and show where one example sits relative to the rest, rather than presenting the number alone.
Careful
Do not over-read the engagement as proof of chart design quality, since the measured facts point to topic timing and author independence, not visual polish.
Written by our analysis model from the measured numbers above, not by Statista.
