This is incredible analysis and surprising as well! One aspect that is hidden though is that the profile changes over time. Some members that you listed in the first graph have not post hardly anything in the last year for example. And there are others who are much more active recently (last year or two).
Thank you! And yes, you are absolutely right! Here is the follow-up based on the data since 2022:
Although Hugo9000 has given Amir more likes than anyone else since the creation of the ASR forum, he only takes third place in the statistics for the last 2 years. Since the beginning of 2022, it is AdamG247 who has been the most active in liking Amir. We can also see, that Veri is not on this list anymore.
The user who likes Amir the most in 2022 and 2023 is JSmith (120 likes), followed by AdamG247 (74 likes). The user who stands out is voodooless, who was not in the top 10 list before but has gained popularity in recent years and now takes fourth place in this list.
Here we can observe the reverse situation: the leader of the previous plot on this topic, the Helicopter, is not even in the top 10 in 2022-2023, and now thegeton is taking the lead.
It was also interesting to see how many comments there were actually each year:
It can be seen that the popularity of Audio Science Review first noticeably rose in 2019 and then increased rapidly in 2020 (the pandemic may also have played a role in this). In the following years, the number of comments written has steadily been increasing. Considering how many messages were written in the first 5 months of 2023, we can expect positive numbers this year as well!
We are also dealing with quite a large amount of data by using the last 2 years for our analysis (over 40% of all comments).
