- I did an experiment, running a survey on the /r/samplesize subreddit. To my surprise, there were quite a lot of responses! So I decided to go all out and to thoroughly analyze the responses. Here's a vlog of the entire process, and my takeaways.

This was an amazing intro to survey design & data visualization with an engaging delivery, clear explanations, and practical content. I particularly appreciate the fact that you discussed your mistakes/missteps, it provides so much more insight into the topics. Thank you!
Hello and thank you very much for your comment! Really happy you liked the video! Yes, I think it's important to think about areas of improvement, and I feel it's particularly apt here since this is something that has gone out into the public and I can see real-world reactions and get concrete feedback about what's been done right and what can be done better. Since this was such an amazing learning opportunity, I couldn't not share it all here in a video!

He even got sponsored by Markdownhtml. 40:48
Being relatively serious though, this video is interesting, I found it entertaining and it documents mostly his entire process from surveying to organising and even presenting his data.
When I clicked in, I was a bit confused as to what he was surveying. It's simply put trying to segment who participates in /r/samplesize surveys and for whatever reasons.

In my defense, thinking is hard!

This is not a sponsorship, I will clearly disclose it if that's the case. Having said that, if they, or anyone else, would like a sponsor spot, my inbox is open =)

Sorry about that, if it was unclear! I did talk about it at the beginning under the "Motivations" bit. I didn't have a very specific goal, just wanted to have a feel of what the /r/samplesize community is like and their attitude towards answering surveys.
I'm surprised you got all this responses. I posted one and got around 10 responses in samplesize sub
Hello and thank you for your comment! I suppose one part of it comes down to whether you're able to stand out in the crowd and interest the users there as well, like with most things on social media.
