       | ads and clickbait stuff.

             | direction matters. most sankey diagrams could be pie charts

             | nested boxes are usually trees, and mixed nested boxes with
             | lines without symmetry are almost always lazy reasoning or
             | bullshit. start with symmetry and intent and it will be
             | apparent.

       | Similar to a graph of nodes with a time component.
