Couple of nitpicks: in the coloured charts some of the colours (eg global poverty/moral philosophy) are reeeally hard to tell apart.
I would also like to see absolute numbers of posts on eg the popularity posts, since high votes for eg ‘career choice’ could be explained by those posts being disproportionately likely to be important announcements from 80k or similar where what’s really getting upvoted is often 80k’s work rather than the words on the screen. And high stats for criticism could be (though I suspect isn’t) explained by much fewer critical posts leading to greater extremes.
Great post!
