I wonder if Slow Boring’s spot on the Politics leaderboard will change after the election cycle. I personally value the takes that aren’t about the presidential election but I wonder if the average politics reader just wants constant election coverage right now. It might explain why subscriptions are high despite occupying a lower spot in the overall politics universe.
Maybe! This is a pretty long-running trend, though. And a good one for us, objectively! Those leaderboard spots don’t actually add much value, beyond it being cool to see your publication on a list. But it’s always interesting to see how these things shift in response to external events.
