My time spent maliciously filling out annoying surveys feels justified now.

Between the utter uselessness of anonymous surveys that have zero controls for, who can answer it, how many times you can answer it, etc, I just assume they can easily fake the results, and they don't like it when other people figure that out and make a mockery of their survey or hijack it to give results they don't find favorable. But the surveys have always been fairly useless for doing anything important unless you just wanted to broadly canvas opinion.

What really grinds me gears is whenever some group tries to hold an electron this way. Had one group I was in hold their presidential election over google surveys with absolutely zero controls on who would vote, voting twice, etc. What a fucking nightmare, got railroaded when I mentioned it was useless and that the results could easily be faked to be anyone they wanted since of course one could just write pyton script that votes for whomever you want and leave it on. Would he funny if a group with a few dozen members had a billion votes cast for the president wouldn't it.
