    That’s objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an ‘Other’ option. There should also be a ‘None’ or ‘N/A’ option.

      A radio presenter this morning was talking like we all have Instagram, I found that incredibly annoying.

      Agreed, the only way this would be acceptable if this was in an application for a Social Media manager position?

      And yet, I think most people are checking all those boxes, unfortunately. Pray for their mental health! 😵

      I was thinking the same thing. But if this was a survey specifically for social media, there wouldn’t be a N/A option except at the beginning to make you not have to continue further and waste your time and theirs. (Survey for getting users’ input on social media use, etc.)

      But definitely agreed on other. There are so many social media sites out there.

        There’s way more social media than these options. Where’s?

        Reddit
        4chan
        Lemmy
        Mastodon
        Bluesky
        Forums
        Discord
        YouTube
        Patreon
        Medium
        Steam
        Whatsapp
        Pornhub
        VRchat

        Some of these are very very popular. Asking people their social media habits, and preventing people on most social media from answering, will produce garbage biased data. I hope this study fails peer review and the PhD student responsible flunks.
