Reading history
One point per day, each of them the 30-day window ending that day. A day with no snapshot is a gap in the line, never a line drawn through it.
History starts when seven daily snapshots exist with a reading.
Daily snapshots with a reading so far: 0. A snapshot is written once a day and carries a reading only once the subject has ten counted ballots in the window.

A quarantined or excluded ballot is recorded and not counted, and nothing is ever deleted: releasing one makes it count again. The excluded figure is site-wide because the exclusion list stores a ballot id, a reason and a date, and not a subject, so a per-subject figure would be a guess. How exclusions work.

Why people split
Horror is the only major film genre where the love camp and the hate camp are the same size, and the pattern holds across years: in 2022 YouGov recorded 25% love and 23% hate; in 2025 it recorded 22% love and 22% hate. Nothing else comes close: comedy draws 1% to 2% hate, drama 3% to 4%. The same survey shows why the label misleads. Broken into subgenres, horror turns out to be several different things with different audiences. Psychological horror is the mildest: 55% love or like it against 33% who dislike or hate it. Gore, slashers and demonic possession are where the hatred concentrates, each drawing about a third of all adults saying they hate it outright. So a large share of the people who tell a pollster they hate horror are not rejecting suspense or dread; they are rejecting being shown injuries. When one person says they cannot stand horror films and another says horror is their favourite thing, there is a fair chance they are describing different films.
