Cheap Seats

A read-only copy of Cheap Seats measuring itself, updated hourly. Run your own.

Rankings

Cheap Seats's place on each category's share-of-voice board, day by day: the newest finished run each UTC day, search and recall apart. Rates count each prompt once. When a set's prompts, competitors or answerers change, the trend carries on and the day says what changed; "vs day before" only compares the prompts both days asked, worded the same, of the same answerers, prompt by prompt, and greys out a change within noise: one whose 95% interval covers zero. A change in how answers are asked or graded starts the comparison over.
