Why it spread

It spread modestly, reaching 5,616 views with 27 likes, 3 reposts, 11 saves and no quotes, because the chart explains itself and uses an unusual chart type.

What worked

  • The scatter chart compares cost of living against quality of life across Asia, Middle East and Oceania, so the trade-off is visible at a glance.
  • The post is highly self-labelling, with a clear ranked title naming 70 cities, which lets viewers understand it without extra explanation.
  • The chart shows a source line and comes from a creator featured on the account's website, giving it credibility and a story hook.

What to borrow

We could pair two of our own measures on a scatter plot with a clear ranked title and a visible source line, so readers grasp the comparison without reading a caption.

Careful

Do not over-read the spread: the quote rate sits in the bottom quarter and the post drew no quotes, so the unusual form did not spark conversation, and the design polish is only medium.
