Found an alternative to traditional bubble charts

It is a force directed circlepack

It is a gimmick that is mostly for data visualization tutorials. It is visually harder to compare the area of circles than it is to compare the area of squares. We know this from experiments in perception. Of course, anything that is clickable force directed is more fun to play with than something non-force directed. Anything force directed feels more like a physical object of sorts. There is something really satisfying about clicking force directed objects.

A treemap is better to compare the squares but will be less fun because there is no real point in making a force directed treemap.

An Indian market force directed circle pack is as niche a visualization as I can think of.
