Survey was a bust
4 years ago
To those who took the time, thank you
In short, Im disappointed.
Long story not so short; I mistakenly left the 'other' option on for a few questions-- partly on recommendation of those who thought it a good idea and partly because I too thought it was a good idea. A lot of people seemed to take this as the only option and give consistent "Yes but no but yes" answers, which are empirically useless in the end. I cannot emphasize how jumbled and indecipherable some of the answers I got are-- without singling any particular answer out. After all, the person who made it would know who it is and Id rather avoid that whole dealie.
We had three separate instances of the other option being used to seemingly have a formal debate with the survey itself, treating each new prompt as a new topic to fire back at, leaving even the optional 'yes or no' questions with a lot of "Yes but at the same time no"
At some point we had a couple multi-paragraph other responses to a question which boiled down to "Could things be better, yes or no" and still managed to be vague enough that nobody I asked could make heads or tails of it.
The survey was anonymous so I cant tell who said what but theres two of you who need to go into politics.
To summarize shortform, 62 results were recorded:
In general people like YCH's! They think that generally characters are drawn accurately, and are mostly happy with the results.
There is some contention where a majority of people think that bidding leads to bad spending habits-- but also that the final bidding price is somewhat fair-- leaning too high. So thats a tad confusing.
Autobuy (AB) prices are generally accepted as slightly too high / leaning too high
There is an overwhelming leaning of people who believe YCH reminders are annoying.
People (50%) are NOT avoiding artists who draw YCH's, but reminder *spam* is less likely to garner interaction from a core fanbase. (50% said less likely, 30% neutral, 15% more likely)
A staggering 80.3% of people feel that YCH's are mostly taken by a small group of people with disposable income-- either through standard slot purchase, bidding, or autobuy sniping.
Most people (55%) think that the current state of YCH as a whole could be improved.
