If it's focusing on equality, then 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 should be labeled on the y-axis so that the midpoint is easy to see.

If that's what you want to illustrate, at least add the 50% horizontal line.

Instagram...hmm yes...equal numbers of women showing each other pics and men stalking them.

Ok, maybe not but i think there is a huge gender difference in how the platform is used.

Eh the differences seem negligible 5-10 percent difference between extremes. If you account for botting and fake accounts this would probably look different also, but there are no tools to currently do that.

Thanks for sharing! It’s interesting data, but I think your figure could be more gender inclusive.

First of all there are more than two genders. If there is no data on other genders (or if some of the platforms don’t have more options) you should at least say how you treated this issue.

Secondly, I don’t like your choice of blue and pink to represent genders without a legend. In my opinion this further manifests a binary concept of gender.

I hope this criticism was not too harsh. But I think it’s very important to be inclusive.

Isn’t TikTok full of gamer pornstars with pink hair?

How is one supposed to know which color represents men and which one represents women?

Which colour represents what gender? Even if it seems obvious, always add a legend.

If it's 50-50%, then it is the LEAST gender based.

You should definitely have a line at 50% if that’s what you want to show. Also, needs a legend, a y axis label, and needs to say what you’re showing. This doesn’t tell me if you’re talking about daily users, total accounts, posts, etc… that should be clear.

It's funny because I think it also follow the age distribution of those platforms. Tiktok and Snapchat having younger users and Facebook and LinkedIn having older users and the rest somewhat in the middle. I don't have the data to know if it's true, but I'm pretty sure it's something like that. It would be interesting to see.

Based and balanced is not the same definition. That's an interesting question, what would make it gender based or not; and feel thats a treacherous thing to go into for data scientist, maybe something left up for the sociologist to give us a definition.

But the statement was "balanced" and in the age ranges that social media covers the gender is at 50-50. It only becomes slightly different just past the social media age, as slightly more men die earlier from hard labor, risk, or war.

Is it possible to get the numbers for Reddit?

Beautiful but probably unnecessary viz. do we really need a bar chart to show the same information that could be shared with seven numbers?

The genders are not split 50-50 in the population, though, so you need to split into age groups and then compare those to the gender split of the overall population in each age group.

Colorblind people can see different shades of select colors, depending on their cone deficiency. Not necessarily pink or blue, maybe different shades of brown or other muddled colors. They can correspond from a legend, but that legend doesn't exist.
