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.

Is this the same thing as google forms surveys, or something else?

That's something else. It's (it was) a marketing product.

> Google Surveys is a market research tool that allows you to easily create online surveys in order to make more informed business decisions. Users complete survey questions in order to access high quality content around the web, and publishers get paid as their users answer the surveys. Google automatically aggregates and analyzes responses, providing the data to you in a simple online interface.

This product seemed like it had a great deal of promise after they nailed the results of the 2012 U.S. election, in which numerous national polls said Romney would prevail. But they totally whiffed it in 2016, so it might have just been dumb luck.
