What are some good sources of comprehensive data on possibly log-normal behavior in culture and entertainment? Maybe box-office figures?
Many (most? almost all?) results (as ranked by some metric) are produced through a sequence of events whose effects multiply together. The log-normal distribution is the real “normal” distribution.
The creator economy and Log-normal is the new normal
This is my new obsession, which started with my analysis of Patreon earnings.
What it says on the tin: a comparison of the protocols (ATproto is used by Bluesky) and the design choices they made.
Imagine spending years in an apartment, making it your home. You pay rent on time, maintain the space beautifully, and build a community with your neighbors. Then one day, without warning or input from tenants, the building is sold to a new owner; a corporate holding company who begins raising the rent and changing the rules.

Innovative new Sublime app: A must-have for creatives
mindmappingsoftwareblog.com
First review I’ve seen of Sublime app.
An analysis of project earnings on Patreon, a service with high-quality data available. Result: It’s the log-normal distribution.
Good overview of creator economy dynamics marred by uncritical acceptance of power-law distributions that are probably log-normal.
File under “probably log-normal”. See for example the deviation from straight log-lines in the graphs.
Review of Math Academy, emphasizes need for conceptual understanding. A more useful review than Michael Pershan’s or Dan Meyer’s.
