If you see a random poll, do you take the time to interact with it?

Boost to increase sample size.

This poll is an example of selection bias :vlpn_blep:

ADubiousPronoun :honk:

@NeoFox Studies show that 0% of respondents crumple up surveys and throw them in the garbage.

Dr. Guillermo Power :verified:

@NeoFox the question is though. Do you answer randomly too?

@NeoFox Ahh, so these found their way over frae Twitter. SMFH

@NeoFox So much that at this point like 50% of my notifications are about polls, lmao.

@NeoFox It depends on what the poll is about.

Fabio Romeo

@NeoFox
But if you see a poll and say no, wouldn't that invalidate the question? :thaenkin:

I reserve the right to be a contradiction, fallacy or logically impossible, particularly if for comedic effect. πŸ˜‰ 😎

@ArtBear @fabioromeu
Either that, or, looking carefully at the wording, those who answer 'No' do not interact with _random_ polls, which this is not. :blobfoxwinkmlem:

NeoFox

I think all the 'No's mean that this poll isn't a random poll.... so people like the poll and think it's a useful poll! :blobfox3c:

@NeoFox Depending on the question, I'll usually take the time to answer.

If the poll is obviously targeted at a general audience, I will for sure.

If it seems like it is targeted, like for fans of a specific IP that I know nothing about, I'll definitely skip it.

@NeoFox Had to really think hard to answer this one correctly. It's subtle in several ways.

@NeoFox I'd worry more about selection bias than sample size on this one :blobcatgoogly:

@NeoFox I'm glad someone took the time to come up with a poll even more biased than mine: tech.lgbt/@mark/10940169624784

Except, weirdly, the results of your poll have come out *less* biased!

This is a reply to a #poll. If you found this via the hashtag, click open the thread to vote!

(and consider boosting :D)

Admittedly it isn't a very important poll, but certainly a fun/interesting one! :blobfox:

Rob Williamson

@NeoFox just here for people who click "no".

Sou

@NeoFox Depends on the topic. If it's something up my alley, definitely yes!

Tom Marlowe

@NeoFox Sure, if the poll is relevant to me in some way...

Wayne Dixon

@NeoFox for me the true answer is β€œmost times”, because sometimes it’s a poll for something that I have no information nor opinion on.

NicholasBuzzred

@NeoFox Haha, I wonder of selection bias is at work here!

ramona

@NeoFox I said "no" in this random pool that I interacted with, because I never lie on the internet
