Why do you think this is so remarkably bad? I’m not saying I disagree I’m just not sure I understand where you’re coming from and I’m curious.


The base rate of giving feedback on a weather website has to be incredibly low. I've never done it in my life. It's kind of like saying that less than 1% of constituents have phoned their congressperson about Bill XYZ; doesn't really mean anything. If every one of those visits is a page load or something 1% would be incredibly high.


Because it implicitly suggests that 99% of the visitors are happy with the website. Without knowing the number of unique visitors during that month, and the number of people that complained, this is meaningless.


Not sure this needs any explanation! Most people don't give feedback to a weather site. 400K items of feedback is a tsunami of feedback.


400,000 items is feedback is a very large number.
