Modularity maximization results using the GENLOUVAIN code for several values of the resolution parameter γ (specifically, 0.01,0.05,0.1,1,5, and 10). For each value of γ, we plot communities with at least 1001 nodes versus their mean media PCA score. Colors correspond to the mean media PCA score (with, as usual, ‘Left’ signifying negative values and ‘Right’ signifying positive values), and disk size corresponds to the number of nodes in a community. For all explored values of γ that result in more than one community, we detect more large communities (i.e., those with at least 1001 nodes) on the Left than on the Right
