The Best Visualizations of December on the Voronoi App

In December, we publicly launched Voronoi, our free new data storytelling app!

The initial response from both users and creators has been incredible. In fact, there are already hundreds of interesting visualizations to discover there, many of which will not be published on Visual Capitalist.

For that reason, we’ve chosen to highlight some of the most popular visualizations in this roundup. To see them all and many others, make sure to download the app!

Let’s take a look at the most viewed, most discussed, and most liked posts of the month.

MOST VIEWED

Formerly Popular Male Names That Died Off

Why do some names seem to have eternal staying power, while other names eventually fall out of favor with the public?

In this post, creator Memetic shows popular boy names that eventually disappeared from mainstream culture. There appears to be some correlation with global events and cultural phenomena, but in many cases it could also just be a coincidence.

For example, the name Ernest used to be the 28th most popular male name in the United States. Years after the movie Ernest Goes to Camp was released, however, it dropped out of the top 1000 most-used names for good.

MOST DISCUSSED

ChatGPT Turns One Year Old

The most commented on visualization from Visual Capitalist showed a timeline of user growth for ChatGPT, which turned one year old in late November.

Many users commented on this visualization, wondering about how much revenue ChatGPT generates each year or how it will be impacted by the recent lawsuit by the New York Times over copyright infringement.

MOST LIKED

FAANG is Dead… Meet the “Magnificent Seven”

The most liked visual on Voronoi in December came from Visual Capitalist, and detailed the “Magnificent Seven” stocks.

Four of the five FAANG stocks retain their place amongst the Magnificent Seven, with newcomers Nvidia, Tesla, and Microsoft joining the group.

Following a poor 2022 performance and having more difficulty capitalizing on tech trends, Netflix is the sole FAANG company not included.

POPULAR CREATOR

Julie Peasley

Visual Capitalist isn’t the only creator on the Voronoi app.

Instead, it features incredible data-driven charts and stories from many of the world’s best creators, like Julie Peasley.

With a range of infographics covering everything from aircraft orders, average down payments of houses in the U.S., or the size of the fundamental particles of matter, Julie published some incredible visualizations over recent weeks.

Thank you Julie for your contributions!
