Wasn't that debunked? I remember some post coming out later saying that "no, we actually *do* read the comments. The original leaker was wrong."

The person who originally claimed that WotC didn't read comments seems to have deleted their tweets/reddit posts.
Other tweets contradicting that person:

I suppose these other people might not be on the design team, but it largely seems like that original poster was in error...
