I do not want to be a study
I am an old fuddy duddy
Take my words for ads to sell
But as a subject I'll scream like hell
Do you know what an observational study is? Nothing was manipulated. There were no variables against you. The site's actions were observed. It's absolutely no different than someone seeing how attendance changes at the local park in different weather. You weren't part of an experiment like Facebook was, where they changed stories that came in to elicit emotional responses.
Worth mentioning that Hubski itself hasn't been conducting any studies, outside of the BTC funding one, which pretty much everyone has forgotten about :)
I will attempt to mentally exclude you next time I observe something about Hubski, if that helps. That's all I can promise. However, if I make a mental note to the tune of, "Wow, there's a lot of people commenting on this article!" and you have commented, I cannot promise you will not be involved in that observation.
Then you probably shouldn't be posting on the internet. Hubski didn't perform any studies on you. You're just paranoid. You might want to smash your TV while you're at it, pretty sure there's an NSA camera in it.I do not want to be a study
