As a good thing

It avoids the "causal" N=1 accusations on social media while not being as expensive as literally paying people to experiment or having institutional review boards. It is simply not pragmatic for ordinary people who want to do investigations that rich organizations find too insignificant to attempt.
Surveys are like a good example, e.g., to reach a majority consensus on a non-objective topic.
Honestly I think even with actual science, the sample would inevitably have a sampling bias that only people who volunteered will be tested (otherwise it is an illegal waste of their time).
