It’s kind of a weird question though right? Like I have a general disdain for UB, but I also don’t want a new format, buuut 10/10 times I’d prefer to join a pod where no one was playing with those cards so idk.
This comes from the same market research that showed "the vast majority of tabletop Magic players (over 75%) don’t know what a planewalker is, ... don’t know what a format is". Take that for what it's worth. I personally cannot believe it, but if that's what we're dealing with it almost doesn't matter what question they ask, they'll get whatever answer they're looking for.

First thought I had when I read this was "I don't remember being asked this question". This feels like when a game or small business schmoozes a tabloid to give them a "best of" award. They are building echo chambers around their business to justify profitable decisions.
