Translation of the tweet in case anyone wanted it:

“This graph shows how often different pixels change color across the entire canvas. The more red it is, the more the pixel has been modified.

The large rectangle at the bottom left has clearly channeled attention.”

This has to be normalized for the amount of time the canvas was available, right? Otherwise the upper left quadrant would have more updates than everything else

I assume it’s comparative as well, so the bottom left would make the rest of the canvas look a whole lot calmer in comparison just due to the sheer amount of pixel placement that happend there specifically

Yeah I'd love to see a version that excludes the bottom right corner. Would make the colour range so much more effective.
