I'm not sure this whole thing is relevant to the conversation, but I've held the stance before that that YouTube poll is fundamentally flawed by not offering an option to say "not bothered" or similar. It, by default, assumes that it bothers you. It means people who want to see the results but don't agree with the options will vote whatever bothers them the least to vote for.

I still think the numbers of people bothered by the change are a substantial amount (and that mod's Unique DLs work better as proof), although unsure how many they are proportionally. The other poll that went into more detail didn't release that info, I believe, but even then I'm not sure how skewed they the results would be because of where they looked for participants to answer it. They also had significantly less participants despite how widely it was advertised, but we theorised on here that it was because people didn't want to log in to complete it. Getting a concrete answer to that would be pretty difficult.
