""We worked really hard to present the complex data analysis behind the map in a way that was easy to understand. So instead of showing the complete map at the beginning, we started at the level of individual videos and zoomed out. That way, by the time the reader sees the map, they know what they're looking at." - Joe Fox Design and development by Leslie Shapiro and Joe Fox."
