    top 1.9% of only fans

    This is a complete aside, but does anyone feel like putting “top 2%” sounds better than “1.9”?

    Like when I hear top 2 percent I think wow this person is somewhere between 1.5 and 2% but 1.9 makes me think 1.90 to 1.99.

    Maybe it’s just me.

      That’s the idea behind significant figures in high school science

      1.9 is more precise because it has 2 significant figures
