I would add an interesting chemistry tidbit that has to do with colors.

Different chemical bonds will absorb different wavelengths of electromagnetic energy depending on how stable they are. In organic chemistry, a lot of times that has to do with how much electrons are delocalized (or “have the freedom to move to different bond sites”) over large numbers of double bonds. If you look up the structure for carotene (the chemical that makes carrots orange), you’ll notice a ton of these alternating single and double bonds. The electronics are delocalized over that whole stretch. That pushes the absorbance to higher wavelength. A lot of molecules of colors have a high degree of stabilizing electron resonance like that. Tomatoes have even more conjugation so they absorb higher up into the red wavelength region. In general, all those are high wavelengths for chemical bonds to be absorbing, which is why it takes so much conjugation. More typical bonds with less conjugation will absorb down in the UV spectra or lower wavelengths.

Here’s a source that talks about some colors in food and their chemical structure. Oh it has blueberries too! That molecule looks super cool. :)

That is pretty awesome! Life is wonderfully complex and funny sometimes isn’t it? What a wild ride.

Not gonna lie though sounds like you’ve got a sweet gig going too! Comfy family life baby!

Thanks! That makes sense. I’m just surprised they have a bucket that large and don’t elaborate on what “other” means. Seems dodgy.

Thanks! This helps clear it up. I suspected not all of YouTube’s revenue was from ads. YouTube TV, blah blah blah.

So how does that break out? Are ads the only source of revenue YouTube has? I would have thought there would be direct revenue too, from YouTube TV, things like that. Is that in “other revenue”? I’m asking if anyone has that data. Is 100% of YouTube’s revenue from ads because that’s what this is implying and it seems wrong.

I don’t like how this chart is supposed to show where all the money goes, but has $29B for YouTube, basically the size most companies, as one bucket that’s shown as all ad revenue. I don’t believe that’s true.

Wasn’t sure because there’s a separate bucket for ads but I’m assuming that’s just ads from google, not YouTube? I’m really curious what the distribution of income looks like for YouTube. Is it mostly ads or subscriptions or whatever.

Question - It says “Youtube”, what does that include? I assume not advertising on the YouTube site?

And from the phone in my pocket! Literally infinite information available, all in my pocket. Holy cow.

Good answer.

Wow this is a really fantastic visualization. Thanks OP

I disagree that it is hard to understand. I think it shows the trends really well actually. Maybe kind of complicated, yes, but I was able to digest it pretty quickly.

I do always have a problem with the size of circles being used to illustrate data since the area of a circle goes as a square, or is the diameter (instead of the area) of the circle correlated to the data?

Hooooly shit. This is so good I’m just going to close out of Reddit right now. I’ve peaked for the day.

Shortly after this she turned into a donkey.

Reminds me of Fern Gully. Maybe on account of the title having “Gully” in it.

Is it a righteous gemstone?

Wow that’s incredible. I always thought migration was dominated by earth’s magnetic field.

Muck Fichigan!
