Eh, I have to say it's probably not just selection bias directly.

Most of the time you have to ask the question, who is the redesign for, and what is it attempting to accomplish.

Especially in the case of sites where you have mostly a base of technical users and the site is looking for more generalist users to join to "increase engagement for profitability reasons" then don't be surprised when all the technical users are pissed.
