The top 10 neighbors for Barstool News Network form a tight, internally consistent cluster — Professionals, Journalists, and Podcasts and Radio accounts drawn almost entirely from within the same media ecosystem, with scores ranging from 0.93 down to 0.89 and no single neighbor pulling dramatically ahead of the rest.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition. The shape is flat: PFTCommenter leads at 0.93, followed by Dan Katz at 0.92 and Dave Portnoy at 0.92, but the gap between first and tenth is narrow enough that no single neighbor defines the audience on its own. Ellie Schnitt (0.91) and Hank Lockwood (0.91) round out the top five, all classified as Professionals. The next tier — Ria (0.90), Barstool Rundown (0.90), KFC Radio (0.89), Barstool Radio (0.89), and Pardon My Take (0.89) — shifts toward Podcasts and Radio, with one Reality TV Stars entry. Barstool News Network's own subcategory, News Publishers, does not appear among any of the 10 neighbors; the audience shape is defined instead by personalities and podcast properties operating within the same network. The one outlier in kind is Ria, the sole Reality TV Stars entry, sitting at 0.90 — close enough to the core that it reads as part of the same audience, not a separate cluster.
The flat shape here signals a cohesive, network-bound audience: the people following Barstool News Network follow the same constellation of hosts and shows, with no single figure commanding outsized overlap.
