We recently teamed up with The Pudding — a talented group of journalists that uses data to publish visual essays. The covered a lot of ground in their article, but we wanted to share a teaser below.
Here, they show how our relationship with various subjects is affected by time.
“In order for something to be universally loved or hated, it must stand the test of time. If we compare how much teenagers love puppies to how much 30-somethings love puppies, we find the unsurprising result: love of puppies is ubiquitous. …

After a political deep dive, we looked toward the stars for our second data set.
One thing we won’t pretend to be at Hater is an astrological expert. The total tonnage of Zodiac folklore on the internet could stun a team of oxen in their tracks.
