Chess timer: step 2. Daily increment. 4 polls in one topic!

I think everyone has already tried the chess timer. Are you planning to conduct another poll? Perhaps the results will be different. Or am I the only one who feels this way? I find it lacking, and it detracts from the enjoyment of the game. If there aren't many of us who feel this way, then we can probably manage somehow. Specifically, it's lacking in tournament games. By the way, I switched to hotkeys almost immediately, and it helps, but not enough. Some people say that if the timer is insufficient, you shouldn't engage in prolonged battles, but that leads to a loss of tempo, which in some cases leads to even longer games. Overall, I'm all for the chess timer, but I don't understand why you couldn't add the same 30 minutes to the main timer, and for me personally, there would be no more problems with time. These 30 minutes, considering that games last at least 6 hours, don't really matter (they just give an advantage to already strong players). And if you want to prolong the game, the chess timer won't be a hindrance; you can just not type "gg" and run around for just as long, and that's when the time accumulates. I often watch streams and see that even players like Tvarine, Hellu, and Amilu sometimes find the timer insufficient (don't think I'm putting you in the same category), so maybe it's worth conducting another poll, with larger timeframes than were previously proposed. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER VOTE?
