Is this really a common phenomenon? What reason would you have for randomizing a poll vote? I can't think of a reason offhand to intentionally obfuscate meaningless poll results.
- eieio 13y agoFrom what I remember folks either did it "just for laughs" or because they had a problem with the idea of a poll gathering information about people on the internet. I can imagine both reasons applying for a poll about income. At the time I found this frustrating because I'm honestly interested in the age distribution of HN readers. It seems like cool data to have.
