Hey, looking into this now. I believe the vote buttons actually do always send us feedback, but the UI could probably be better there.

Unless you are batching them up and hiding them in the upteen bazillion posthog POST requests, no, they do not

I shudder to think how much you must be spending on compute asking for that /api/poll/batch once a second, each one saying it is a Miss from cloudfront. It's especially mysterious since there's nothing on the UI that the user would see about the .filesProcessed increasing that justifies DDoSing yourself like that, IMHO

These are all great points, we should probably audit the polling.
