Use context carefully
Population is not your addressable customer count. GDP per capita is an economy-wide average, not household income or willingness to pay. Current US dollar values change with exchange rates and inflation. Internet use does not establish demand for a product.
Reproduce the comparison
Each series links to its definition and upstream organization. Missing observations remain empty. Revisions can change historical values; retrieval dates describe this snapshot, not when the observations occurred.
