I'm starting to wonder if we should separate the two.

Yes please.

popularity bars are logarithmic now



I've done a bit of charting of popularities for prods, and noticed this:



This basically means that even though most prods only reach less than 100 views, the barrier to enter the 1+% club is much higher, which feels it makes it a bit pointless to me; the spread of popularities are a lot more even and interesting when charted on a log-scale. Note that this won't affect any other calculation internally, it's only for the bar displays.

I think that's good news; indeed it makes more sense this way. But I think it requires a little bit more tuning: for example 60% popularity seems exaggerated for this prod with a handful of comments.

yay, my prods are popular now! \0/ :D

my demos score 60%+, i'm popular...
nada surf time

It's been on the site for 10 years and has gained an above average viewcount; the 60% is perfectly normal.

Now it's finally an useful feature! That's actually quite a big improvement!

Before it was hard finding a prod above 1% popular, but now it's hard to find a prod that's *under* 50%. Even my most recent adds with 1 rating get around 30%. Can it be stretched out a bit so 50% means popular rather than just average? The majority of prods have a small number of votes/views and should still be low on the scale.

There'll be further tweaks, dont worry.

The popular demo marks the upper value. Oh wait, just 96% :)

Just ML the whole thing off. :p
"Do you think this prod's popularity is <too low | fair | too high> ?"

zavie: could as well give everyone 100% ;)

replace the percentage with 1 to 5 icons of Taylor Swift's head!

Everybody is famous \o/
A bit too famous though, at least it feels like that.
Maybe map it like f(x)=x², x€[0,1] ... sth like that(?)

Oh well and Maali's ranking idea is not too bad

Let's use Maali's head x 5 for the negative ratings

Cool to see popularities rise, but needs tweaking as everyone else said.
Case in point, I click to sort by popularities, to find the least popular demo. The smallest was 5%. I click to see what that is, then I go back, it's popularity rose to 8%.

How about showing the popularity as the percentile in the popularity distribution? I.e. 70% means more popular than 70% of prods. This would actually be a very informative number in its own right. And it would, by its very nature, use the scale optimally.

Not impossible, I'll think about it.

Logarithmic is better than linear, percentile would be ace =)

What about showing the original raw number, e.g. in the tooltip?

+1 for quantile!
