thanks for being condescending, but i do understand how sample sizes work. i also know how selection and self-selection biases work.

but by all means, feel free to let me know what meaningful conclusions we should take from this poll.

i dont know what point of mine youre arguing against

i dont trust political polls in general, and as far as political polls go this one is on the lower end. all i did was make comparisons to other (larger) polls that did not manage to capture the true distribution of voter intent

in the 2016 election, tens of thousands of people were reached for some polls, and these polls all declared total victory for Clinton

so i cant answer your question directly, but i do know that one single poll of 900 people aint it

this poll queried 900 voters. 900 people who are the type of people to respond to political polls

for reference, almost 155 million people voted in 2020

so this poll was conducted with less than 0.0006% of the voting population of 2020, and the group that responded is a particular (and biased) group. edit: for additional reference, biden received 7 million more votes than trump did in 2020, which is roughly 7,800 times more voters than were polled for this article.

ignore this completely

go fucking vote

in fact tell the next 10 people you talk to to vote as well

nah the patch notes were pretty similar to PoE patch notes. identify mechanical issues with the game and attempt to solve them with numerical nerfs. dont add anything new or fun, dont increase build variety, dont actually solve any of the identified issues, just make everyone's gameplay feel worse

the only difference is that PoE is actually a good and fully developed game, D4 is not

There are an infinite amount of important events, happening all over the world at this very moment. Life-changing moments in time for billions of individual people, all happening simultaneously. A video reaching 30 million views is not one of them. And yet this is what you chose to comment instead of submitting one example of such atrocities so that others might become aware of them.

Jesus wept.
