That survey claiming 73% of buyers want photorealistic renders over stylized art

I saw this stat in a CG Spectrum report from last month that said 73% of buyers prefer photorealism in digital art showcases. I think that's complete BS for this community. Stylized work like what you see on ArtStation from guys like Ian McQue gets way more engagement and sells just as well. Am I the only one who thinks they rigged that sample to push a certain toolset?

maybe it's just me but I can barely make a photorealistic toast without it looking like a burnt rock, so clearly the survey was rigged by people who actually have skills lol. idk, feels like they asked a bunch of AI bros instead of actual artists.

That "ask a bunch of AI bros" part hits hard, I used to think the survey was legit until now.
