Where's the proof the hotjar survey even took place? I found almost nobody, on here, the nexus/skyrim mods/fallout mods subreddits, or the Discord channels, that even knew about it, let alone voted on it.
edit:
Which begs the question: If Nexus, supposedly, got thousands of votes, positive ones, from the survey, who were they from? Bots? Random people that maybe use the site for a day per month? As Glitchfinder said, modding games trends toward the technologically-inclined, and anyone who is technologically-inclined is going to have an adblocker, and thus be unaware the survey even took place.
