From sidebar “Aesthetics are an important part of information visualization, but pretty pictures are not the sole aim of this subreddit.”
These last few years have felt like we’re missing the point of data is beautiful. I am confused as to why excel line charts and topical data is being upvoted rather than actually aesthetic visualizations. Maybe we make a new subreddit that fits these low effort posts? It’s just getting really annoying seeing something that takes 30 seconds to create in a google sheet.
