# Mirror Analysis: Week 7 in Review (2024) By [post3](https://paragraph.com/@post3-2) · 2024-02-21 --- **_⚠️ Note: This week’s report has some faults concerning the number of collections, which should be much higher in_** [**_Linea_**](https://mirror.xyz/0xf35AF3D1b37340C9CB236Fe4bf7695525CE69fe3) **_for instance. This is due to the web scraping process which should be slightly changed. Everything will be fixed by next week._** This entry is part of the series: **Mirror Entries Analysis**. Each week, **Post3** utilizes data extraction and data analysis techniques to deliver insightful reports with information concerning authors, articles, revenue, chains, keywords, and more, derived from exploring Mirror data. For **Week 7**, we tackle the following questions: * Who are the authors from whom people have collected the most? * Which entries were the most collected? * Which authors generated the most revenue? * Which entries generated the most revenue? * What was the networks/chains usage? * Who caught our attention this week? ⚠️ **Note:** The number of collections/mints of some entries might have changed at the time I’m writing. Let's begin to analyse **2507** posts collected from **Week 7**. 1 - Who are the authors/publications from whom people have collected the most? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The number of times an article has been collected/minted serves as a valuable metric to understand an author's popularity on Mirror. The “Author“ is the publication/newsletter, some authors such as protocols and ecosystems have several contributors that write to their publications. Let’s take a look at the **top 10** whose work has attracted more collectors. ![Bar chart showing the top 10 authors with the most collections](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0599539d76be37c393a800160e5638fa43b51188fddc050c9b1386880befe8f1.png) Bar chart showing the top 10 authors with the most collections [Linea](https://mirror.xyz/0xf35AF3D1b37340C9CB236Fe4bf7695525CE69fe3), an L2 solution, dominates the chart on week 7, with more than 1150 collections. In 2nd place is [Base](https://mirror.xyz/0xcB5AB6B84a66e5E6f1edEE7800AB344532dA4B82), Coinbase’s L2 network. Both publications generated a significant amount of revenue. In 3rd place, with more than 400 collections, is [Capx](https://mirror.xyz/0x31bea1A25671Bed02fe70d81964f50569441A301). This project is new on Mirror and aims at building a decentralized AI network. This is followed by [Forgotten Playland](https://mirror.xyz/0x1d47D4A8905b96282a9ce57BC79D7264a31E7A60) a free-to-play web3 social playground.

Here we’ll take a look at the **top 10** authors that generated the most revenue from minted entries, and how it correlates with collections. ![Bar chart showing the top 10 authors that generated the most revenue](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/811346bb321905a6b41328c2339932d21380fa5327d1f93199b61239ebb2294b.png) Bar chart showing the top 10 authors that generated the most revenue [Linea](https://mirror.xyz/0xf35AF3D1b37340C9CB236Fe4bf7695525CE69fe3), [Base](https://mirror.xyz/0xcB5AB6B84a66e5E6f1edEE7800AB344532dA4B82) and [The Optimism Collective](https://mirror.xyz/0xfF5Ae9b0A7522736299d797D80b8fc6F31d61100) generated the most revenue with some free and other paid entries.

People might be loyal to their favourite authors, but in the end, they will mint what they really like or find useful. Studying entries individually is important for writers to understand what kind of content people are willing to mint, and at what price. Below, are the **top 10** entries with the most revenue: 1.

The following pie chart only compares the usage, other metrics should be taken into account, such as the type of articles that are being published in each chain and so on. ![Pie chart comparing the usage of the L2 chains](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/75ef799ec55e7cdf7c0897d74e2461f4a39500f1cee6c42f935622306d16e208.png) Pie chart comparing the usage of the L2 chains Optimism dominates with 89.3 % of network usage, followed by Polygon with 4.7 %, Zora with 4.4 %, Base with 1.2 % and finally Linea with 0.4%. **_👉 Join Post3 Discord community_** [**_here_**](https://discord.com/invite/wJR4vNrwYA)**_.
