I noticed that in my top 20 similar users, the similarity rank/score/whatever are all >~0.83. However, randomly sampling from users in this thread, some top 20s are all <~0.75, or all roughly 0.8, etc.

Is there anything that can be inferred from that? Is my writing less unique, so ends up being more similar to more people?

Also, someone like tptacek has a top 20 with matches all >0.87. Would this be a side-effect of his prolific posting, so matches better with a lot more people?

It's not "less unique" as the structure of the sentence is what matters: the syntax. But you simply tend to use words with balanced frequency. It's not a bad thing.

Yeah, definitely not a bad thing. This just piqued my curiosity and is in a field I'm not super familiar with, so I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.

Thanks for the interesting tool!
