Yeah, the only real value here is to memorialize WotC's questions. His survey results are basically meaningless.
D&D General Bob World Builder Recreates WOTC's "Do You Like Me?" Survey!
He's doing what he can to get word of it far and wide. Every survey has selection bias and, as I said in my show, the results don't really matter to each of us individually. WOTC's own survey was limited to Twitter and Facebook I think.

True, every survey has selection (and other) bias, but not all biases are equal. A WOTC survey of those following its Facebook and Twitter, or who have DDB accounts, is a poor sample for gauging the general population, or even the specific population of RPG players, but it does provide them with insight about one of their marketing segments.
Bob World Builder has been critical and negative towards WOTC ever since the OGL fiasco. Aside from the base of his followers/subscribers, people with beef towards WOTC will be far more motivated to fill out his survey than people who are satisfied or even just indifferent to WOTC.
And just a note, the remedy for selection bias is randomized selection, not wide availability of the survey.

So much this. These non-randomized surveys are worthless except as entertainment. But clickbait's gotta clickbait.

One more time for the folks in the back, who might not have been paying attention:

I am okd enough to remember when he was fun, instead of another negativity algorithm tornado chaser.

This has as much validity as G&G putting out a survey on Star Wars and Marvel films. The target audience already has a strong opinion on the subject and I'm sure the results will confirm their deeply held beliefs.

What is all this negativity toward Bob? I find him to be one of the most courteous, non-click baity you tubers out there. Bob is disappointed with some of WotC's decisions, but is definitely not rolling out "I hate WotC and here's why YOU should too!" videos.
Bob is re-doing the survey out of curiosity. It's not going to have the same results as WotC's but it's fun.

Bob's a good guy, for sure.
