Targeting users to answer the survey pollutes it's results.

Removing my comment, just curious how does it pollute the results? it’s my first time launching a survey :)

It looks like: "I like that answer, please bias my survey findings!" Might have been n=1 and you might have asked the same of someone who answered different. Ideally you get random sampling to respond.
