'get fucked'
The only option anyone should select make their analytics useless.
If enough people did it, using a random method to select an option would also make the survey useless.
Very true, but being able to type fuck off would make it that much better.
This. Force them to trawl through millions of reports all saying some variation of "Get fucked assholes"
Eh. If I were in charge of that, after the second or third one I found I'd just write a regex or something to find all the responses that contained profanity or a large proportion of profanity vs. word count, file those under "edgelord is angry at Microsoft," and then just filter them out.
I'd highly doubt anyone would trawl them by hand. In fact, given how everyone is enamored of AI's these days I'd doubt any actual person is trawling any of the results, regardless of what they are.
Typing "fuck off" would tell them exactly the reason, though. I think it would be much more beneficial (i.e. less beneficial for them) to select other and give no reason. Then they can't make anything of it.
I want people to know.
Or give completely fake reasons.
Typing fuck off can say a lot about you as a user. Right off the bat I can pretty comfortably guess you are either biased against Microsoft, bloatware, or cloud storage (not that this is necessarily a bad thing), or that you've recently had a negative experience with a Microsoft product.
I don't think willingly giving this information is worth the catharsis. Select other, give them nothing, be happy knowing that you've been as inconvenient as reasonably possible.
I believe the exact wording should be "Because fuck you, that's why".
That is the one single sentence I have ever entered into an "other" box.
