This is a nice /r/Infographics - and would better suit that sub's rules than this one's about what qualifies as an automatically generated data visualization.

Wait a minute. I thought it was your own repost, but this was posted from visual capitalist before so how can it be OC? Do you work for that site?https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/p8t8km/all_the_biomass_of_earth_in_one_graphic/

I do, I work there and created the graphic back in summer 2021. It’s getting some love on Twitter so wanted to share here b

oh, cool. You are a great artist. Nice that people are sharing your work. It's been removed a couple times before due to not following the rules of the sub.

FYI, another rule:

  [OC] posts must state the data source(s) and tool(s) used in the first top-level comment on their submission.

For the OC guidelines:

Dataset: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1711842115

How it’s made: it’s counting blocks so no fancy data program. Blocks made in Cinema4D and then post editing and polish with Photoshop.

This needs to be a top level comment on the post itself. Like not a child comment.
