Isn't it randomly batched out to the whatever like 18 million steam users every day and it automatically collects it?

I've never manually input my system specs into a steam hardware survey. Idk why you'd think people can lie or why using publicly collected data frequently and across a massive population makes someone an idiot.

Your way of interacting online seems unhealthy.
