Why exclude YT and FB if you’re just going to include Reddit, Twitter, and Wikipedia?

But what if you exclude Twitter, Wikipedia, Reddit, Instagram, and Amazon?

Seems pretty arbitrary.

It clearly says at the top, they saturate a lot of the top 3 so it would just be those everywhere. If you look now there is a lot of variety, so because twitter isn’t as dominant it is more interesting that it is at the top for some countries than if youtube was the top for a country while also being the top for most other countries.

Actually it’s insightful for once, instead of just seeing google and faceboo all over. Lacks more labels but maybe it would be clustered if every country was labeled.

If you are going to exclude the most viewed sites don’t call the infographic the most viewed sites. Just do second most viewed sites or something like that.

Exactly. According to Genius Megapanel, which is a standard for estimating* websites' popularity in Poland for advertising purposes, in Nov 22 Allegro.pl (the biggest marketplace in PL) was the 4th most popular website in Poland with 18+ Mio useres, while Jbzd.com had only 2.5 Mio users. Here's a full list

*It combines direct measurement (in case of bigger websites) with statistical methods based on a panel of ca. 30k users.

Edit: now I see it's from Semrush. Well, Semrush's data is pure BS - Similarweb has more accurate data, a little bit overestimated in case of the biggest websites (while totally underestimates medium and small websites), but still more useful than Semrush's.

The point of the map is to show most viewed sites. Then they threw in extra exclusions. Twitter and Wikipedia cover half of the map. I love the map and the data just questioning the process. Would be best to do multiple maps showing the paring down of heavy volume. What does it look like without filters except search engines, then this map, then a map with Twitter and Wikipedia pared out. I’d assume Amazon would be the dominant one after Twitter and Wikipedia. A progression to see what is most used outside of the biggest site would be interesting.

So what’s it for the Netherlands and Denmark? There is no legend and both countries are excluded from the zoomed in map. Based on the colors I’d say it’s the same as Angola but I don’t think that is accurate.

Cool idea but honestly medium execution. This map is super hard to read because it uses the same colors for different results and only uses ticks for some of the countries.

Replying to [deleted] (#1,277,814)

My main problem is that sometimes people don't know if they want a graph or a table, so they do things like this, mixing up elements of both. However, graphs and tables are for different purposes and they conflict with each other. The lack of consistency and the fact that the author probably wanted a table and made the graph just for posting made me irk a little bit. A graph isn't a good representation for this kind of data, especially for smaller countries.

Also please tell us which ranking the top site actually holds in its country and be specific which sites are excluded. Other than being prudish, there's no reason to exclude "inappropriate" sites, and certainly makes the info less interesting.

Not really, as someone in Europe who rarely goes to twitter, it's interesting to me to see that south hemisphere countries are all about it, I wouldn't have guessed it was still that popular in some regions of the world.

Either you exclude every:

  • Search engines
  • Social media
  • Video sharing platforms

or you don't exclude any.

Excluding Facebook but allowing Twitter makes no sense to me.
