I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn't seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.

I'm not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.

My thoughts exactly, I would not trust Blind members to be a statistically representative sample of workers at these tech companies. Blind tends to draw people who aren't super happy with their job, and may-or-may not be more likely to be interested in unionization.
