Why wouldn't the employees on Blind not be representative? Considering how every other company voted the other way, I don't don't see why Blizzard would be the only biased one.
- CydeWeys 7y agoI'm on my company's Blind, and it is vastly different than the company as a whole. It's full of alt-righters, misogynists, xenophobes, transphobes, and other minority viewpoints (within the tech world) that are simply not said out loud at work (or with your name attached online). It drives most reasonable people away to the point that if you tried to use Blind to get an idea of the average viewpoint of employees of the company, you'd be very very off.
- ninth_ant 7y agoBut even you are implicitly making the case that your cohort of Blind users is likely the same as in others. To whatever degree that Blind attracts a biased sample within a company, that is true everywhere and even so Blizzards results are a strong outlier. Your excuse would only be plausible if the Blind participation bias only affected Blizzard in some way.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThe point I'm making is that Blind is likely not representative of the company at large at all, which is highly relevant here.
