The two strongest pulls in PFTCommenter's top 10 sit on opposite sides of a Barstool-to-sports-media axis — and together they define the audience's shape.
Hank Lockwood leads at 0.98, followed immediately by Dan Katz at 0.98 and Pardon My Take at 0.96. These three form the first peak: Professionals and a Podcasts and Radio channel, all tightly clustered within the Barstool orbit. Ellie Schnitt (0.96) and Ria (0.95) extend that cluster, adding another Professional and a Reality TV Star. Chicks in the Office (0.95) and Lights, Camera, Pod (0.94) — both Marketing Channels — round out this first neighborhood.
The second peak emerges at positions eight through ten, where the neighbor set shifts toward sports-media Journalists and broader sports infrastructure. Barstool News Network (0.93) is a News Publisher; Dave Portnoy (0.92) is a Professional; Caleb Pressley (0.92) is a TV Personality. Notably, PFTCommenter's own subcategory is Journalists, yet no fellow Journalist appears in the top 10 — the nearest neighbors are Professionals, Podcasts and Radio channels, TV Personalities, a Reality TV Star, a TV Show, and a News Publisher. The audience shape is defined almost entirely by the Barstool ecosystem rather than by sports journalism peers.
The two-peak structure here reflects an audience that bridges Barstool's internal talent network with its broader content channels — a tight, ecosystem-specific shape rather than a genre-wide one.
