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.

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

pathetic, lol. that being said, it's important to note that this is not the same thing as Google Forms.

I'm surprised they'd cancel this. this is one of those things Google is uniquely positioned to do.

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