At 0.84, Bruce Van Horn — a Professionals subcategory influencer — pulls harder than any other neighbor in The Independent Author Network's top 10, and the second-strongest match, Etienne Arsenault (0.81), sits in a different subcategory entirely. That gap between a clear lead and a diffuse field is the two-peak structure at work here: the audience bridges two distinct neighborhoods.
The first peak clusters around professional influencers. Bruce Van Horn (0.84) and Steve Keating (0.77) are both Professionals subcategory figures, forming the strongest pull in the set. The second peak is political and news-oriented: The Last Word (0.77) and The ReidOut (0.76) are both TV Shows, and Democratic Coalition (0.76) is a Political Groups organization — three neighbors within a tight band that collectively represent a politically engaged media audience. Between those two clusters sit Ricky Davila (0.78, Lifestyle), Amazing Stories (0.77, Magazines), IWF (0.77, Non-Profit), and Scott Page (0.76, Musicians and Bands) — a varied middle that reinforces the bridging character of this audience. No other Blog appears in the top 10, meaning the audience shape here is defined almost entirely by cross-kind neighbors.
The overall picture is an audience that simultaneously resembles the followers of professional self-improvement voices and the viewers of politically oriented cable news programming — two distinct communities whose overlap lands on this blog.
