Still an extraordinary experience after all these years and possibly the best use of horizontal scrolling I’ve seen. Lots of previous discussions and posts on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=if+moon+only+1+pixel

It's very very good! I thought this one hit hard though, I assume inspired by the moon = 1-pixel viz.

This is great, but it needs an update: wealth inequality is even higher today than it was when that site was created.

E.g. it gives Jeff Bezos's net worth as $139 billion, but today it's $228 billion.

that's a great share, I feel like it would also benefit from setting the "speed of light", as something like median average yearly income.
On the same note: https://xkcd.com/980/ (from 2011 when Bezos "only" had $18b)
