400* Completed Polls!

I have noticed that we get tags from people shocked that so few people have heard of specific podcasts, and overwhelmingly these tags are left on polls that have a much higher heard-of-rate than normal.

So here's some stats about what has been "normal":

The mean "Haven't heard of this podcast" results is 75.1%.

The median is 82.1%.

(The mode is 91.1%, but this type of stat isn't particularly relevant for this data. It represents 5 datapoints.)

According to Microsoft Excel, if more than 69%** of our voting base has heard of a podcast, then it is an outlier.

The first quartile (which means 25% of the polls are under this number, and 75% are over this number) for "Haven't heard of this podcast" is 67.0%. The third quartile is 91.0%.

Only 54 podcasts have been recognized by half or more of our voters. Below the cut are the 30 podcasts that have been recognized by 60% or more of our voters.

There is a loose correlation (r²=0.427) between the number of votes a poll receives and the proportion of people who have heard of it. This correlation could be messed up with outliers — that is the polls about podcasts that leave our normal audience are often ones that are very well known on Tumblr. Unfortunately, Google Sheets does not have an easy way to recognize outliers, like Microsoft Excel does. Additionally, what is considered an outlier for how many votes a poll seems to change with how many polls we posted that day.

So frankly I do not know how do control for these outliers to give a more accurate r².

If you want to see the other stats I've compiled, a copy of the Google Spreadsheet is here.

Without further ado, the thirty podcasts that at least 60% of our voters have heard of:

*Not counting the accidental 24 hour poll that is currently being rerun (although those stats are included in our averages, it lowered the minimum votes from 168 to 135 and is an outlier that should not have been counted for some stats but I want to keep it for other stats, so it's still in the data).

**Technically 68.8%, but a) 69% is a funnier number, and b) most of our polls get between 200 and 400 votes, so Tumblr's rounding to the first decimal is already too precise to be frankly accurate.

***This chart is not actually by how many posts were made that day, but by the date ranges surrounding the queue rates. The 24-hour poll has been removed from this data.

im pretty sure the trans jackson/holt headcanon is because theyre voiced by a woman in g1!

oh okay! someone also commented this on my post as well

i also didn't know they were voiced by a woman but i'm not surprised because that's pretty common

that's interesting though that people created this headcanon from that

LOCATION: club envy, in the corner CLOSED: @thepynknic​

Crawford hadn’t been interested in going through the whole deal of popping outside, getting his hand stamped, and trying to get back in. He’d spotted the fog machine in the corner and with enough alcohol in his system he thought, ‘fuck it.’ He’d gotten his cigarette lit and was taking his second drag when he watched Nic approach. “I’ll spot you one if you don’t tell.” He looked past her, watching out for any employee that might glance their way.

Do you have any headcanons of five accidentally being a kid after he comes back? Like he likes kid stuff

hi!!! i'm getting to this super late and i'm responding to this super late at night so this may not be my best response.

but i think that five subconsciously or deniably likes to indulge in kid things. i think even though he's technically like 50 something he never really grew up? but that i mean he never really had a child hood nor did he have any guidance from anyone developing physically, mentally, and emotionally past the age of thirteen.

so i think he might deny it, but i think he secretly enjoys/ can't help himself from being into kid things. i also think he partially craves it because it's an attempt at getting back the the chance for a childhood that he lost.

some specific headcanons i have for him are:

he really likes to play silly games like tag and hide and seek, and even board games like monopoly, sorry, snakes and ladders, operation, and card games.

he really likes to read children's fiction that's aimed at thirteen year old's and that his favorite genre is fantasy.

he has a massive sweet tooth and is trying to sneak candy all the time and his siblings are constantly trying to stop him (except klaus because klaus just asks for a few pieces himself).

he has attachment to certain toys, like specific stuffed animals or figures that he refuses to part with.

even though him and his siblings are the same age/he's older than them, now that he's thirteen again and they're physically in older bodies, i think he sometimes wish/appreciates when their a little protective over him

he gets super excited over holidays like christmas because of all the decorations and festivities and gifts

DON’T GANG UP ON ME LIKE THIS @me-myself-and-my-fos

he gets more powerful when he knows you’re on his side like this!!! it makes it harder to say no!!! which is almost impossible to do anyway when he looks at me with those big eyes!!! we left without it but i’m going back to get it. i just have to. he was so happy. i’ll make him boxers or pajama pants or a little throw pillow out of it as a surprise.
