Methodology:
- The Inshorts Youth of the Nation Survey was conducted on the Inshorts Android App from 26th Jan to 2nd Feb
- All Inshorts Users on Android were able to see polling cards (like one below) on their news-feeds:
- Each polling card carried only one question with 3 standard responses – Yes, No and Not
- Informed Enough
- All users had the option to vote on the card or just swipe up and choose to not vote for that
- question on the card
- One polling card was served after a user swiped 15 news cards, therefore, the more news cards
- a user swiped, the more questions he/she was able to respond to
- Overall, there were 30 questions and 30 polling cards that were served to the users
- The algorithm was designed in a way wherein a question which fetches higher response rate
- from users, would be served to more users
- If a user voted for a card, he/she wasn’t served that question again
- Throughout the polling period, about 1,40,000 unique users voted for at least one question
- At the end of the polling period, more than 10,00,000 votes were cast
