@janl @hamato Yes, that's usually the case. If I post a poll about an obscure topic and <100 people respond, that's the signal I trace.
I do find it hurtful when people try to make me feel bad about my interests and those of people around me by making a big deal about not having an "I DON'T CARE" option. It's not my job to make polls that you care about; go do something else with your time.
