Here's a comment: I will pay you $5 a month if I can have access to Gawker sites without the ads.

@NefariousNewt: Seconded.

Those Gawker Artist banners are terrible. Though I'd rather have them than companies shoving actual ads into my range of vision.

I'm also disappointed that there was no pornographic section to the survey.

@NefariousNewt: If you're using Firefox try [adblockplus.org]

I should clarify: The Gawker Artists banners I see are always the same 10-15 images, and maybe 2-3 of those are any good.

There are other Gawker Artists whose work I enjoy thoroughly, but I have to flip through the Artists section to get to their stuff.

HAHAHAHAAHAH!

"I have influence on the grocery decisions in my home."

Oh, it's gotten a little better, I think. At least I don't have to worry about the artwork raising eyebrows at work...much.

@Gev: Adblock has been causing some problems for some people - not me though.

@Ma1agate: We're actually in the process of swapping out some of the old images for an entire new batch, so stay tuned!

Heh. Amusingly enough, I just clicked on the "Glarkware" ad and got a 404. I guess they do need new advertisers.

@amorphous: The only problem I've had is that occasionally there's some stuff on Gizmodo that makes it through the filters but other than that all of the Gawker blogs (as well as most other sites) have been delightfully crap-free.

I'm disappointed that this survey did not allow me to admit to the 8-bit NES I own and play.

Dr. Mario FTW!

@Miranda Kali: I'd like to know what determines how often we see what pieces. Aside from the lack of variety, I don't think what's shown most often is nearly in the range of the better art on hand.

@JDel: Duly noted, much appreciated.

Adblock plus works wonders.

@amorphous: I beg to differ. There was an "other" section for game platforms, which I clicked in full 2600 Pride.

I filled it out. But as an anarchist I do not provide accurate private information about myself to corporations.

I filled it out but I hate choosing "male" or "female." There's no choice for "ooloi"? WTF?

was there no option for a computer assembled from scratch at home or did i just miss it and use other?

given the number of other questions about computer hardware purchases i'm suprised that homemade wasn't a computer option.

@Annalee Newitz: I thought there should have at least been a "Yes, please." option for sex. At least they did better with preferences, but I still would have liked to see "pan-sexual".

The dating question is well harsh. "Not managing once every six months? Guess you've pretty much given up, then, huh?"
On a more serious and less personally revelatory note, there does seem to be a bit of a problem with the survey design - the yes/no pairs are sometimes flipped, so that on the same page you'll have yes/no and also no/yes. If people are being inattentive that could seriously screw up the data.
Also, I want to know how many people that filled out the survey from this site ticked either 'reading online content' as one of their leisure activities nor 'sci-fi' as one of the movie or TV genres they enjoyed.

@Gev: Seconded.

@Acheman: I was stumped on that one. What is a "date"? If I go out for a fancy dinner with my partner whom I've been with for a decade, is that really a date? And if I am attempting to hit on somebody over coffee who has no clue that I'm doing it, but eventually figures it out, is THAT a date? So confusing.

I like the Gawker Artist banners. The only thing I don't like about them is that they don't rotate out the images much (or have a wide enough spread).

I'm not just saying that because I have one either. It's gotten to the point where I'm a little tired of seeing my own work over there.

Gawker thinks we have horrible taste, according to the choices of shopping and brands in that survey...

The io9 "Psychographic Survey" and an advertising "Marketing Survey" seem a lot alike.

(Oh you sneaky Guys...)

I don't mind the Gawker ads so much when they use pretty art. And I don't resent the need to finance content. But then again... advertising is the state approved graffiti.

@tetracycloide: nope, not that i saw. i had to use the 'other' too. based on the choices for restaurants and shopping, are you really that surprised?

@geekgrrl: Ditto. I wonder if it's occurred to them that they might want to advertise for places specializing in components. (is Microcenter a national chain? I saw they had Newegg.) At least for io9 and the tech blogs.

No "get rid of the "Gawker Artists" question.

I am disappointed.

@edosan: I actually like the Gawker Artists because I always get that picture of the guy playing with the weird-necked cat at the cat show. I love that picture. The cat seems so uncomfortable.

I AM A GROCERY INFLUENCER!

(Also, if one lives in Belgium and drinks cheap Belgian beers that Americans would pay a fortune to import, does that count as 'domestic beer' or 'imported beer'? Some of them are brewed by genuine monks, you know...)

@CargoCult: How do you know they're actual monks? Have to asked to see their badges?

GawkerWorld seems to be going thru some changes.
They've stopped linking to their other sites at the bottom of each page.

Innnnteresting.

@edosan:
They've got their own trade association - I gather that anyone falsely labelling their produce as such will be brutally assassinated by a cut-throat sect of ninja warrior monks.

Or something along those lines.

I'm sorry, but I bailed at the "How often do you give advice about _" screen. The survey's too long to do for free.

No questions about what we would do if we saw an upside-down turtle in the desert? What kind of psychographic survey is this?

So.. when do we get to see the results of the psychographic survey..?

@ideaman2020: well if you are abducted by men in blck suits and tinfoil hats. im pretty sure you (or i ) dident do that good

The only thing that surprises me is the questions that weren't asked.
