Demo account. Books mostly, a few series, the occasional film that reads like a novel.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; Yuki Sato is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
