cannot believe how many people are confused that the use blocks aren't showing use in that location, just size in relation to the size of the country
Wait what? Oh God that's a horrible way to lay out data
I found it immediately extremely obvious and intuitive
it's not a monstrosity, but I kinda agree that pooling the blocks together and overlaying it directly onto a map implies a geographical link with the usage
