HowLongToBeat - 2022 In Review

I love these data sets and look forward to them every year now - I also look forward to reading the Twitter replies, for obvious reasons.... however... it does make me think that it could be a good idea to include a line on each image that said something like "based on X user submissions", or something to that effect, just to make it super clear that the data is from the site's own submissions.... seems like a lot of people responding on Twitter aren't really aware of that... and as amusing as that is... it might be helpful to add a little bit more detail just to quell the mass outcries =)

edit - the posts with another clarification post right after seem to go down well - maybe that kind of explanation would be good for every post, just to be sure that people understand lol

I agree, I think it would be helpful to make it more obvious where the data is coming from and how it's calculated.

The HowLongToBeat Twitter only had about 2000 followers before IGN bought the site. They used IGN's Twitter account to retweet posts to build the follower count. The issue with that is, it came with loads of people that have no idea what HowLongToBeat even is.

The Facebook page is currently being followed by ~2400 people. I should try to interact more with the page. Sometimes I use my admin rights to post comments and stuff on other gaming pages. I should also post more content. Maybe tomorrow I'll spend some time posting all those "2022 In Review" images. I think that HLBT could have more impact on social media in general but the site's purpose is hard to translate into content for social media interaction.
