What a Global Usage Chart Has to Leave Out
A global usage chart is mostly an argument about what to exclude. Platform counts, time spent, and generational splits each come from different sources with different definitions, and putting them in one sequence implies a comparability that the underlying figures do not have. Every scene is a decision about which comparison is fair.
Audiences do not read the caveats, so the caveats have to be built into the selection instead. A video that shows two platforms measured the same way is more honest and more useful than one that shows six measured differently, even though the second looks more comprehensive. What does not belong on screen is the source reconciliation: which panel, which methodology, and how self-reported time was adjusted belong in the appendix that the video points to.
The template holds it to six scenes: one on what is being counted and by whom, two comparing platforms on a single consistent measure, one on where regional patterns diverge from the global figure, one on the shift that is moving fastest, and one on where the full dataset sits.
