The residents and the tourists

Of the 189 creators who post data science consistently, only 49 dedicate more than half their feed to it. This top 20 splits the same way: residents like Venkata Naga Sai Kumar Bysani (61% of his feed) and Dawn Choo (52%), and tourists like Pascal Bornet and Ruben Hassid (2% each) whose rare data science posts still draw their audience.

The data behind that tourist premium is consistent: an audience that did not sign up for data science still rewards a clear explainer or a free-resources list, while full-time data feeds compete with themselves. Andrew Ng (+61%), Andrew Bolis (+45%) and Dawn Choo (+72%) all earn more on this topic than their own usual median, and only Choo is a resident. If you write about data science occasionally, you are playing the easier game.

Two related studies while you are here: who dominates LinkedIn country by country (United States, India, Germany, the full series), and the topic-by-topic siblings of this page (software development, AI). And if your plan includes showing up in these creators' comments, an engagement feed makes that a daily five-minute habit.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any data science creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, trajectory) and benchmark your own profile. The data on this page is the product.
