June 2022 r/LS user survey
This survey is intended to provide a snapshot of our users/subscribers (all 56k of you!) in June 2022, over 2 years after lockdowns began in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is also coming a bit more than a year after our first user survey, the results of which you can find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LockdownSkepticism/comments/kqyyid/results_of_rlockdownskepticisms_first_demographic/

This is totally voluntary; please feel free to skip questions if you like. Results will be collated and shared with the community once the survey is closed.

Thanks, everyone! -the r/LS mod squad.
