For myself, I can’t recall if I finished it or not, but I have to admit that there are now enough surveys in the world, and the lesswrong-specific one is unlikely to hold my attention long enough to put much thought into answering. It was awesome for the first few years, but the definition of the community and the centrality of the site has changed such that I don’t see the value as much anymore.
I really appreciate the work that went into this—it was a noble attempt, but I believe the world and this community has changed such that it can’t be as good as the early ones.
I think “call it a day” is your best bet for 2017. If you/we can field the resources, finding a way to make it more incremental for 2018+ (like smaller sections throughout the year, remembering my previous responses so I don’t have to reconsider things that haven’t changed, and possibly some federation with diaspora members who add/suggest questions rather than their own mini-surveys) would be awesome in the future.
