Five or so years ago DNDBeyond released it's character data. Basically, what classes and racial combinations people were creating characters for. The data itself had it's faults (If I remember correctly) but for a data guy like myself I loved it. I was wondering if they had released any newer data sets in the past few years.
What I'd really love to see is what classes, subclasses, and races people are playing. Bonus points if it also includes what content people have access to and if those characters have been modified recently (to show they're likely actively being played). This is literally just for my own curiosity.
We had another data release ~3 years ago during a devblog update, a short time prior to the acquisition of DDB by WotC. To save you 15 minutes of video the most salient graphs are here:

It doesn't cover everything but their stats were IIRC based on millions of characters in campaigns on the platform.
Post-acquisition, I think our only data sources so far have been Crawford, Todd and Perkins dropping the odd pearl during their UA videos.
Ah cool. Bummer it's before Tasha's as that changed a lot of things I think but still cool data to see. Thanks!
