It’s a cool website honestly, I enjoy the concept a lot. Obviously I’m forced to view the results through the lens of “this is what people on reddit think” but it was cool to see a bit of variation regardless. I think you could take it to the next level by importing a much larger dataset of responses to similar questions and using that as a baseline. Then, the user can answer the questions and look at the demographics to see how they compare, but without actually incorporating their response unless it is desired. If they want their response recorded, just overlay that onto the baseline (which would let you keep the data separate if you also wanted to include a feature that compares responses directly from the website to those of more traditional polling methods). This way you don’t have to collect personal information for somebody to view the results, but they have the option to willfully hand it over.

But of course, that would be a giant time commitment to implement. Visualizing demographics is a very important concept though
