What makes a build popular?

23.6k Axartar  22 days ago

I had a unique opportunity,

After posting so much in a short duration of time, I realised I could graph my stats against themselves. Here are my results, in a correlation matrix and a pair plot.


This shows correlation, where one means they are correlated, e.g. ice cream sales and hot weather, while zero shows no correlation. e.g. ice cream sales and reddit upvotes. Negative one shows negative correlation, e.g. ice cream sales, and snowfall.
.
So yeah. in short the only things which bear any notable correlation are the obvious, more downloads = more spotlights. more spotlights = more downloads. Nothing crazy

    @Axartar Votes are worthless to me.

    I share for fun.

    but what I'm saying is, most of the time if you're famous, you get more votes. or, if you have a lot of followers.
    just my opinion
