I didn't hear about the survey, but I haven't bothered to sign on to the Medium Pay Program. I am probably much lower than you----you, you, you $118 a month earner!
My main topic is not that interesting to the masses--even masses of liberal thinkers. Not much sense in giving my banking info to another internet entity for $10 a month.
It sounds like this was a terrible survey. There is an art to developing a survey that relates to the respondents and actually provides useful information. Not many get this right.
When I get called by a pollster, I tell him $50 an hour to answer silly questions. People like me aren't in the poll results.
