NeoFoxIf you see a random poll, do you take the time to interact with it?
Boost to increase sample size.
Yes
No
Poll ended at .
This poll is an example of selection bias 
Cegorach@NeoFox also of people willfully giving contra factual answers
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy πΈπͺππ°ππ@drazraeltod @NeoFox Or maybe they don't consider it a random poll!

Π¨ΡΡΠΎ@NeoFox So I voted No to compensate.
Recluse@NeoFox sorry for ruining your example, but I can't pass up an opportunity for irony. π€ͺ
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! 
@NeoFox exactly for me anyways
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!

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

@NeoFox the question is though. Do you answer randomly too?
CypherC@NeoFox It depends on what the poll is about.

Rose [it/its]@NeoFox sometimes! :3c
EddiKat@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.
std::polar@NeoFox Had to really think hard to answer this one correctly. It's subtle in several ways.
Mark Darbyshire@NeoFox I'm glad someone took the time to come up with a poll even more biased than mine: https://tech.lgbt/@mark/109401696247846060
Except, weirdly, the results of your poll have come out *less* biased!

I'm curious, how do you prefer to consume information online? Would be amazing if you could boost for improved statistical rigour and all that jazz. #poll #content #information [ ] Text and images [ ] Video [ ] Audio [ ] Other (please explain)
Rob Williamson@NeoFox just here for people who click "no".
Wayne Dixon@NeoFox for me the true answer is βmost timesβ, because sometimes itβs a poll for something that I have no information nor opinion on.
@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
Rudy Rucker@NeoFox No, what I do is mute the pollster.
BoredomFestival@NeoFox I see what you did there
Gabriela Noriega π³οΈββ§οΈ π§π·@NeoFox Sampling bias go brr brr
eviloatmeal, resident Death Stranding 2 apologist (arch, btw)@NeoFox Spiderman. I mean... Yes. Although at this point it's getting tiresome to do all this "vote and boost" crap. It's like we're back to chain letters on deviantart all over again.

ππ»@NeoFox I am addicted to polls and like tooting them myself.

Alex, the Hearth Fire@NeoFox this isn't a random poll
Esme Ciredutemps@NeoFox j'adore :)
nasr@NeoFox, what a paradox! I'm thinking about who's saying no, actually it's yes! 
Genevieve T@NeoFox this is like the Steve Martin joke about asking people if there is anyone here who has never put their hand up.
Tab Combs@NeoFox I'm going to spend way too much mental energy thinking about whether or not I want to boost this poll today π
Ted Smith #ProEU@NeoFox If that means do I read the question, then yes. Whether I vote is an entirely different matter.
epicEaston197@NeoFox
I just realized the people saying know are lying

Kelvin Shadewing@NeoFox Everyone who voted no is a liar. XD
