Autostraddle's top 10 nearest neighbors span websites, comedians, actors, authors, magazines, a podcast, and a political organization — a genuinely mixed cluster with no single subcategory dominating and no standout gap between scores.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.96 (Them.) down to 0.94 (Democratic Socialists of America), a range of just 0.02 across ten neighbors. That compression means no single entity pulls away from the pack. Tallying the subcategories: three are Websites (Them., Reductress, and Mara Wilson — wait, correcting: Mara Wilson is an Actor), two are Comedians (Aparna Nancherla at 0.96, Jaboukie Young-White at 0.94), two are Actors (Natasha Lyonne at 0.95, Mara Wilson at 0.94), one is an Author (Roxane Gay at 0.95), one is a Magazine (Bust Magazine at 0.95), one is a Podcast (2 Dope Queens at 0.94), and one is a Political Group (Democratic Socialists of America at 0.94). Autostraddle is itself a Website, and two other Websites appear in the top 10 — Them. and Reductress — meaning the audience shape is only partially self-similar. The larger portion of the cluster is cross-kind: comedians, actors, an author, a magazine, a podcast, and a political organization all register at comparable strength to the closest website neighbor.
The cross-kind composition — comedians and actors alongside left-leaning media and an activist political group — defines the structural character of this audience more than any single neighbor does.
