Did anyone here actually use this product?

As far as I can see, it allowed paid surveys to ask users a question within a custom android app, within YouTube in the pre roll ad slot, and within 3rd party sites in ad slots.

However, all 3 of those places also had internal surveys done by Google to ask questions like "Which of these brands have you seen an ad for in the past 24 hours?".

I'm not sure if I saw a single survey through Google Surveys in my 10 years on the internet... So it must have been a really niche product.

Yes, it was actually an utterly fantastic tool for product managers. You could get hard data on consumer perceptions of pretty much anything, overnight, to put into presentations.

A lot of responses would be garbage but a couple of control questions in there would filter that out.

I think almost nobody will miss this product but it doesn't stopp all the "lol Google turned off another thing" comments. I'm not sure I've ever seen one of these either, certainly not in the past 5 years.
