The top 10 neighbors of AP Oddities spread across five distinct subcategories with no single dominant pull — the scores run from 0.95 down to 0.93 in a tight band, and no one neighbor stands apart from the rest.
The shape is flat. The two nearest neighbors are AP Politics (0.95) and John Mulaney (0.95), separated by just 0.0002 — effectively tied. That pairing sets the tone for the whole cluster: news publishers and comedians sit side by side throughout. Adam Rippon (0.95) is the sole athlete in the top 10, followed by AP Stylebook (0.95), a second news publisher. Jason Kander (0.94) is the only politician, and Matt Bellassai (0.93) is a second comedian. Rounding out the ten are a journalist (Ari Shapiro, 0.93), two podcasts (S-Town at 0.93 and Serial at 0.93), and a third journalist (Tamara Keith, 0.93, tied with Mike Birbiglia at 0.93 — a fourth comedian). AP Oddities is itself a Website, and only one other Website appears in the top 10 — Mental Floss at 0.93 — making the cross-kind pattern the defining feature here. The audience is shaped primarily by news publishers, comedians, journalists, and podcasts rather than by fellow websites.
The flat, evenly distributed scores across these subcategories point to an audience that moves fluidly between public-radio sensibility, political news, and literate comedy — with no single gravitational center.
