This is a bit like polling people who still subscribe to paper newspapers and concluding the business is doing fine.

Not quite-my understanding is they sampled from ANYONE who published, regardless of # times, whether they still do, etc.

I don't think dead people and inactives would have a high resp rate. I still get occasional emails from that world that I ignore.

There's techniques to construct proper samples, but they cost more in survey design/deployment. This q is just not worth effort.
