I do research and sometimes I post about it.
Ah when numbers flip from 0 to 1 (or other small number) that’s a symptom of it dealing with really small underlying numbers (before converting to relative) in the sample. Different runs will pull different samples, and sometimes the results are truncated for privacy reasons.

I worked with Andrew on this project. The challenge is that all the numbers it returns are relative (and there’s some randomness). So if you do overlapping time frames, you might get different results for the same day, but you can mostly control for that.

I don't know what will happen in that area, but I can say that we found that most news influencers are already monetizing their content in some way (we did not look at sponsorships)

There is so, so much more in this report. It's a big, multi-method look at this important part of the political landscape, and it tackles questions about news influencers from the supply and demand side.

Audiences tend to report positive experiences when getting news from news influencers:
- 65% say news influencers help them better understand current events
- 70% say that news is at least somewhat different than news they would get elsewhere
- 31% feel connected to a news influencer
