Ah, no worries!
Gossip describes the information contained in the Lightning Spec "BOLT" 7. You can see the information exchanged here, per spec: https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/07-routing-gossip.md
The gossip messages contain node and channel information as well as updates to them. Individual payment information is not shared with gossip, only the existence of payment channel through which payments can be made.
The animated graphic of max flow is the result of a complex simulation of payments from random sources and destinations to generate an average of the network performance. Payments are assumed to take multiple paths and exhaust all available liquidity.
