       | Maybe if you're working in an office.
       | 
       | But working from home, I'd find my job brutal without a tool like
       | Slack/Teams. Long response times from emails and it'd be very dry
       | as the 'IM' style chat allows for a bit of banter like
       | GIFs/'private' chats etc.

       | That number sounds low. Asking the other 40%, why would that NOT
       | turn you off?

             | But there's a distinction between losing access to SO,
             | which shouldn't be a hardship, and losing access to online
             | material in general. The latter would be unreasonable.

           | I bet the real reason for the response level here is the
           | difference between "Do you require StackOverflow to do your
           | job?" and "Are you OK with your internet access being
           | censored?". I would guess that most are replying to the
           | latter interpretation, even though StackOverflow was probably
           | attempting to gauge their own importance.
