oh, srry for the noise --- despite the big, fat "FACEBOOK 2016" my brain only parsed the teensy Dec 2023 date of the repost, on top.

now that the data can be projected on to today, I wonder how the article hypothesis holds up.

I'm not excited to update the data, so I won't do it. It was maybe an hour of work to look up & render back then.
