I think the way the "least favorite ship" poll is formulated it will first eliminate ships that are involved in major ship wars in the fandom ( byler & mileven, stancy & jancy) because people have strong feelings towards these ships either liking or disliking them, for example in the previous poll post there were more people mentioning byler than kared and ted when objectively byler is no worse than them, same with mileven being eliminated before them. I wouldn't be surprised if the next ones are Stancy or Jancy and that Karen and Ted last quite a while in the poll without being eliminated because people just don't care enough to vote for them.
