The Surveys team will be working to find new ways to bring the scale & insights of our research network to customers via Google Ads products for advertiser, customer, and market research."

Ah, yeah this explanation makes total sense. /s

And another one bytes the dust. R.I.P. my friend, G-Surveys.

Cue comments about how Google always does this and can't be trusted or relied on for anything except for the direct revenue drivers: Gmail and Search. Because it's true.

At this point, I'm just speechless. Everything worth saying on the matter, and even a lot of things not worthy of a thot, have already been said a thousand times prior.

I mean Google basically lost in this market. If Google Surveys were an independent company, it would have gone under already. Would you rather they keep propping up failing products forever? That seems anticompetitive.

If it were an independent company they wouldn't have let it rot so miserably because they would have incentives to pay attention to it.

For better or worse, big win for Qualtrics and Typeform and big loss for anyone leveraging Gsurveys due to lack of budget.

Hey TMTD, Yep Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, and Medallia are the winners today. I'm sure they're celebrating winning the war of attrition against Goggle.

Are you thinking of Google Forms? It's often used to create surveys but they are different products. Google Surveys essentially created those "answer a survey to access this webpage" popups and has a very limited free tier.
