Top Authors vs List category posts

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

List category posts moved down one install band, 80K+ to 70K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
