What part of the methodology described in the blog post, specifically, makes you think SE doesn't have "well thought out metrics and goals"? In addition "I suggest that The Loop does not consider the needs of this user base at all." - blog post in fact states the survey collected data from anonymous, not-logged-in users.

@EmC I've read both Loop posts, numerous times. They describe a clear methodologh, but no goal. Further, the userbase I describe would never see the blog, and never repond to that survey. I suppose they can be reached by a "would you be wiiling..." popup when they land on the site, but not by current methods

... is that not exactly what the blog post described: a survey that was randomly shown to both logged in and anonymous users? That's where I'm lost.

@EmC so far as I remember, the only way to take the survey was the link from the blog post. So, randomly shown to people likely to see the blog

If you're thinking of the survey entitled "Through the Loop" that was posted in November 2019 (blog post) - that's not the survey that this blog post is about; the graph in the question here is describing results from a different survey run this past summer. (Confusingly enough they seem to be using the same name for the surveys and their blog series, or something like that..)
