Recode's ten nearest neighbors span tech-media publications, individual tech voices, and B2B-adjacent platforms — a mixed cluster with no single dominant type and scores compressed into a narrow band between 0.98 and 0.99.
The shape is flat: VentureBeat leads at 0.99, but the gap to tenth-place AngelList at 0.98 is negligible. Three neighbors are fellow Websites — Pando (0.99), Techmeme (0.99), and AngelList — meaning the top 10 is split roughly evenly between same-kind publishers and other entity types. Two neighbors are Tech Personalities: Marc Andreessen and Chris Sacca, both at 0.99. Two are Professionals: Marissa Mayer (0.98) and Scott Galloway (0.98). Kara Swisher (0.99) is the lone Journalist in the set, and WSJ Tech (0.98) the lone News Publisher. The mix — tech-focused websites, individual tech voices, and business-media outlets — defines the cluster's character more than any single subcategory does.
The flat distribution suggests Recode's audience is not tightly bound to one corner of the tech-media landscape but instead overlaps broadly across the publications, personalities, and platforms that orbit the same professional-tech readership.
