Americans in NZ FB page never fails to make me mad. There is a poll about te reo and although there are a wide variety of options, one is "te reo isn't valuable and I'd rather spend my time doing something else". Two owners of popular businesses and a university researcher picked that, in public! 🤦🏻‍♀️ - ThreadSky

That's what I said. And the researcher is an active bluesky person!
It's not like there weren't other choices like "languages are hard for me" or "I don't have time" or "I know a few words but probably won't learn more". They really went for "not useful".
