Well, everyone needs to have some level of feedback, it's not just me. That is a good suggestion though.

I have tried messaging a few people today. They seem to be ignoring me. But it's a small sample so far.

I will keep your suggestion in mind. I have a feeling that most are going to ignore me still but I assume it will be better than just only hoping people will write something in Discord.

It's probably helpful to first get a sense of how much work it is to gather customer feedback. As an example, Qualtrics was getting single digit percent response rates, on a simple NPS survey (https://delighted.com/blog/average-survey-response-rate). If you're asking people to give you more detailed feedback, I'd imagine the hit rate might be even lower. Another data point, people who gather feedback professionally often offer customers $100 for an hour of their time.

Thanks for taking my suggestions onboard. I was trying to be positive.

I do agree with your premise that obtaining customer feedback is hard. That's why you have to be relentless about it.

Actually one of the people did respond eventually. So for this effort, I'm at 50% response rate!
