Tim Pool's top 10 nearest neighbors span six different subcategories — authors, musicians, websites, politicians, academics, TV personalities, and activists — yet they compress into a remarkably tight similarity band, running from 0.91 down to 0.87 with no single dominant pull.
The shape is flat: Matt Walsh (0.91) and Zuby (0.91) sit fractionally ahead of the rest, but the gap to The Daily Wire (0.89), Michael Knowles (0.89), Ben Shapiro (0.89), and Dan Crenshaw (0.88) is negligible. Jordan B Peterson (0.87), Dave Rubin (0.87), Ashley StClair (0.87), and The Babylon Bee (0.87) round out the ten at nearly the same level. No neighbor breaks away; no neighbor lags. The subcategory mix — authors, a musician, two websites, politicians, an academic, TV personalities, and an activist — is genuinely varied, yet the audience compositions are nearly interchangeable across all of them. Tim Pool's own subcategory, Journalists, has no representative in the top 10; the nearest fellow journalist in the broader neighbor set appears outside these ten positions.
What the flat shape reveals is an audience that is defined less by the specific format or role of the entities it follows and more by a consistent ideological and cultural orientation shared across all of them.
