Google is checking through Opinion Rewards whether users can watch a certain advertisement video. On Android I'm using the Adguard DNS and their ad video wouldn't load twice. This occurred last week and fits this article to a tee.

I'm sure I'll get a new advertisement video soon which will load despite my Adguard DNS. That's how Google can confirm whether their ad-blocking-blocking works.

Opinion Rewards is great not just for being able to get apps for 'free', but also to be one of the first to see what Google is researching.
