Seems like a kind of useless visualization?


sort by: page size:

That is the most useless visualisation I think I've ever seen.

I love it.


Agreed, the visualisation itself is pretty pointless also as it doesn't show the data in a meaningful way.

Cool Visualization indeed. Completely useless, but cool.

In what way is this a visualization? It's more like a picture.

Agreed. Pretty much a fail as a visualization without that.

If that's the concept the visualization was trying to get across, then it failed pretty bad.

It may look neat, but it doesn't make any of those connections apparent.


I don’t think it does visualizations.

I'm sorry but I don't see how this visualization provides any special insight into any of these things.

Yes it's indeed visual. Is the visualization insightful? no.

Pretty sure you can get it for visualization...

Visualization is very terrible

It looks interesting, but I feel the visualizations remove value rather than add it; too busy and abstract so they end up being a distraction more than anything else.

The visualization is useful for those who already understand how it harms them and society. If someone likes to be watched and controlled, this type of visualization is not of much value.

It's interesting, but "visualization" seems a bit overwrought. I believe most people would refer to it as a "map."

My understanding is that "visualization" does work in the sense that it forces you to think about the subject, and it's "better than nothing" for knowledge/skill based tasks.

I find it to be mostly useless for things I don't really know though, since I find myself needing to look up details I don't remember. It can be great for knowing what you don't remember though. Kind of like trying to explain the topic to someone else.


Agreed. It might be a visualisation, but it certainly isn't a good visualisation.

Even the user interface makes it difficult to figure out what you're looking at.


That's not the point of visualization.

A good visualization should convey something even to those without any domain knowledge.


This is... not a good visualization.

Visualisation is usually more interesting.
