Seeing a twitter poll on the comparative preference for the pillars of D&D I thought to compare this with the results to the same question asked in previous polls with larger respondent numbers.
The broad pattern of response has remained stable since 2014; roleplaying or social aspects are most important to half of respondents, exploration or problem-solving for approximately a third and combat to the remaining sixth. Given the genre of gaming is 'role-playing games' this seems intuitively correct.
Given the smaller sample size of the most recent twitter poll, I do not think a strong read can be given to increased interest in combat, reduced interest in roleplaying. Perhaps a larger sample set will show if the significant influx of new players in the past ~5 years is truly manifesting as a change in play style preference.
