David Simon Audience Graph • Social Signal

The top 10 neighbors for David Simon are journalists, political media figures, and news-adjacent outlets — with no other TV Personalities appearing in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.98 to 0.99, a band so compressed it qualifies as flat: no single neighbor dominates, and no meaningful gap separates them.

Six of the ten neighbors carry the Journalists subcategory: Ezra Klein (0.99), Ana Marie Cox (0.99), Dave Weigel (0.99), Matthew Yglesias (0.99), Adam Serwer (0.98), and Yashar Ali (0.98). The remaining four are Jon Favreau (Professionals, 0.99), ProPublica (Non-Profit, 0.99), Jon Lovett (Comedians, 0.99), and Tommy Vietor (Politicians, 0.98). The cluster is overwhelmingly political media — reporters, commentators, and the infrastructure around left-leaning political journalism and podcasting — rather than anything drawn from television or entertainment.

The shape of this audience is defined by a single consistent neighborhood: politically engaged, media-literate readers who follow the press closely, with no meaningful variation across the top ten positions.
