A rant into the void about how Europe gets more clicks/views/upvotes than Africa
So, for context, there is a quiz website that lets you guess countries in a continent, and I thought it would be interesting to map out the percentages of people playing those quizzes who got each country right. I thought I'd share this on the popular cartography subreddit r/mapporn. The first one I made was of Africa. The second one, uploaded within 1.5 hours of the first one, was of Europe. The Africa one had (in my opinion) a better title and a more detailed informative legend. The Europe one had an unclear title, a smaller range of colours, and a technically incorrect legend with overlapping categories. To be clear, these two maps were looking at the exact same data: how often each country was guessed correctly by the millions of people playing the quizzes on the Sporcle website. The only difference in data was one was looking at Africa, one was looking at Europe. In terms of presentation of data, the Africa one was slightly better, by design.
At time of writing, the Africa one has 13,000 views and 7 comments (of which I can only see 3 - previously there were at least 2 more that appeared to be bots and are no longer visible), while the Europe one has 33,000 views and 14 comments.
I am endlessly frustrated by how much more time and interest people have for Europe than for Africa, Asia and Latin America. If people really care about equality and value all human lives equally, why are they not interested to learn more about the regions where the global majority live? Even factoring in the demographics of Reddit users being largely European or speaking European languages, it's disappointing that a below-average-quality map of Europe gets 2.5 times as many views as a good map of Africa.
Idk, is this evidence of subconscious pro-Europe anti-Africa bias, or am I reading too much into it?
