WotC has done some skeezy stuff, but going into any discussion about WotC and constantly seeing all their sins brought up like it's some gotcha moment. Bob might have wanted to know the answer to WotCs survey, but it came off as a little like "what bad press is WotC hiding? Let's find out and expose it" and I'm 100% sure people with less scruples than Bob will use Bob's findings to fuel that very talking point. "YouTuber Survey Reveals Bitter Truth about D&D Fans! Is it over for WotC?" Is getting posted no more than 24 hours after Bob posts the findings, regardless if Bob says that or not. Blame the algorithm and social media all you want, Bob's findings will confirm bias that already existed and be ignored by those who want to believe the opposite. And it's not like Bob's answers will reach WotC and affect anything there. His survey, regardless of any noble intentions, is just going to be another bludgeon in the discussion posts and comment sections to further divide.It was an idea that while not malicious in and of itself is only going to be used to harm the community further.</blockquote>
