I would also like to add "No skip option." It completely ruins the integrity of the poll, and the worst part is YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF SO YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY FORCING PEOPLE TO RUIN YOUR POLL BECAUSE YOU'VE DECIDED THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE POSSIBILITIES FIGURED OUT

Non response bias is abt demographics of data collection, basically who is using the skip option or just scrolling by and the assumption there is a specific demographic or response demographic choosing to do that which now makes the polling inaccurate

Like if I made a poll that says "are you a racist" racist people who know its wrong might be more likely to not participate in that poll even if its anonymous so now the resulting data is wrong and doesnt reflect that demographic or the demographic of the sample (the community)
