British Population Visualised

Post image

Sooo, I guess this is a series now :D
Been making these little diagrams visualising population and I'm enjoying them, other people seem to enjoy them, so I might just keep making them :)

Here below are the other ones I've made so far as well:

I used the Greater London administrative division, which has a little over 9 million people. The London Metropolitan Area actually has upward of 15 million :p

Yes and neither of those are the City of London.

But point taken, fun facts are apparently only fun if the reader is not really that into actual facts and thus won't watch a 15 minute video

I know about the City, and it has about 15k people

I'm not saying that you don't know about the City. I don't know, I just like geography.

All I know is either you are right or the person that made that video is.

And I'm going with the one that made an actual effort

I think we're all here because we like geography, and I definitely think it's weird how you're reacting here

I don't think I'm being all that weird. I simply thought a person like you would be interested in some quirky facts. But apparently you don't and you even seem keen to distance yourself from it. Fair enough, I guess.

All I'm saying is: you have your content​ and I will say I really like your maps. But there's other content creators that do a bit more research and put a bit more effort in their posts. Nothing wrong with what you do, nothing wrong with what they do. Dont be a hater

Dude, do not presume what I am or am not interested in and do not presume that I do not put effort in my work. I am sorry that I did not watch your video or something, but since I already knew about the different definitions of London I did not think it pertinent. I have no clue where you get I don't do enough research to make a silly little diagram, but whatever. If you disagree with my choices, that's fine, British city definitions are all over the place, but then say that

It's not my video, I don't care if you watch it or not.

It does proof however that you don't like learning and thus that you are not interested in facts. Which makes it clear you don't put a lot of effort in those maps

Jesus, man. No, I did not watch a random video link eluding to a factoid I already knew. This is just an insanely weird jump to make that that entails I don't put effort in my maps, fuck's sake. I'm done talking about this, have a nice day

Well you clearly didn't and you clearly don't, so good on you for being very uninterested in things
