Political After doing my Reddit post asking if people boycott fauji products concluded that
More than 95% of Pakistanis that took part in this survey boycott Fauji products

Pakistanis of Reddit is a subset of a subset: those with internet access, and those who use it besides Facebook and WhatsApp.
If you want a more accurate survey, do it on either of those two platforms. A more accurate conclusion is "95% of r/Pakistan boycott fauji products".

People are more likely to fill in that survey if they are boycotting. So a more accurate conclusion is "95% of the people who completed the survey are boycotting" which is a largely meaningless conclusion.

Not meaningless at all, statisticians know how surveys work. You're not the first person to make this obvious observation.

u/minnoo16 1d ago
Yes, but competent statisticians will conduct surveys in a way that minimizes self-selection bias, platform bias, and volunteer bias.

Yes but they can still use data with these biases and account for them.

Of course, almost all competent people who don't benifit from corruption are against the establishment. Half of them must have managed to escape

Reddit represents elite pakistanis who probably aren't affected by the current political crisis. However, one thing I can assure is that the Boycott is working. I've been to many stores and more fauji products are still there because no one is buying them. Many of the products are even being sold at half price but still no one is buying. So please do your part and Boycott

Boycott is working in Mianchannu

Yes even here in Lahore, many big stores such as Al Fatah have fauji products but no one is buying them. I myself used to buy fauji products such as Nurpur milk but have switched to alternatives such as Olpers.

I think the midde class and some of the upper middle class have started to boycott.

It will be interesting to see if foreign remittances start coming down now. I hope they do. I also hope the solar panel installing continues although it is not because of protest but because of high electricity prices but it is effectively the same

Foreign remittances situation is unlikely to change as most of the funds are meant to be for parents maintenance, although funds in RDA seem to be slowing down or being repatriated

Reddit is a tiny subset of Pakistan, not even large enough to be relevant. A significant minority is very happy and benifits off the status quo and many multiple times bigger minority have been brainwashed into accepting their poverty and low standard of living, they will happily defend the people who put them there. Yes, most Pakistanis are against the establishment and fauj but lack the proper resources/climate to follow these movements.

my question is cant they hide behind different companies with shares? i mean how would people know for sure.

u/RoyalSpecky 19h ago
I looked at fauji companies audits and there is lots of missing assets and money and other stuff also they have money which wasn’t counted for

Why boycott quality products. I will buy whatever is cheap and of better quality.
Out of the 95% how many live in DHA and have boycotted their plots ? How many have boycotted FWO built roads ? Boycott where it really matters. Cornflakes aren't going to save you lol
