The election was 15-16. Spike happened 14-15. Wondering if it was a methodology change to jump that much in 1 year?

Also fuck me but that was already 10 years ago. Was trying to recall if there was maybe some kind of viral social media thing that might have happened in 2014.

Robin Williams killed himself and Bill Cosby was arrested.

The text is to the left on '15; zoom in and compare the circles to the year. It was a 15-16 jump according to the dots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The dot above 2014 isn't labeled. I'd guess it's about 31.7%. The dot above 2015 is 36.8%. That's far and away the largest year-over-year change and the jump I'm referring to.

2016 is the peak. But it's only barely slightly higher than 2015.

I think we're saying the same thing. I had understood your prior comment to mean that 2014 included 36.8%.

Was there one of the several "once in a lifetime" economic crashes that year? I can't remember, but that was my first thought.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Don't think so. By 14 we were pretty well out of the 08 mess. Was around when I got my first major career break. Which was nice as one of the millennials that finished college while the economy had gone to shit.
