I had a similar experience when I first opened a page like that and didn’t really know what to focus on. What helped me was slowing down and looking at how consistently the list is built. Each entry follows the same format with a city and a single startup, without any extra text. When I checked https://hackernoon.com/startups-of-the-year-2024-winners-asia it became clearer that the idea is to present a wide regional spread. It is less about comparison and more about showing how many different locations are included. The repetition actually makes it easier to follow once you get used to it. After that, it starts to feel more organized than confusing.
