Oh, I get that. I’m just thinking that if it was my business I would run it differently, but that’s more of my philosophies than being a cutthroat profiteer that only focuses on the short-term. I want to make that success, but I also think about more long term development/maturing the business foundation and have a (sometimes misguided) belief in people being supportive and not exploitive. Those that have met me at prior Do events would likely concur.

I’m thinking more about the marketers that are writing the (sometimes very poorly designed) surveys, especially when they’re working on product design and fit. And maybe I’m being too altruistic there, but I just know how hard it can be for me to get activity and feedback on my projects, so I commiserate with these other people (that may not exist and may not appreciate my efforts). I still work on giving feedback directly to companies that ask for it when I interact with them, so I expect they are at least marginally more interested in that. Anyway, just wanted to add my recent experiences to this thread, to give feedback for any others that may be annoyed with them.
