  Agreed, the only way this would be acceptable if this was in an application for a Social Media manager position?

  I complained in the “other” box that they did include for a different question lol

  And yet, I think most people are checking all those boxes, unfortunately. Pray for their mental health! 😵

  I was thinking the same thing. But if this was a survey specifically for social media, there wouldn’t be a N/A option except at the beginning to make you not have to continue further and waste your time and theirs. (Survey for getting users’ input on social media use, etc.)

  But definitely agreed on other. There are so many social media sites out there.

    There’s way more social media than these options. Where’s?

    Reddit
    4chan
    Lemmy
    Mastodon
    Bluesky
    Forums
    Discord
    YouTube
    Patreon
    Medium
    Steam
    Whatsapp
    Pornhub
    VRchat

    Some of these are very very popular. Asking people their social media habits, and preventing people on most social media from answering, will produce garbage biased data. I hope this study fails peer review and the PhD student responsible flunks.
