This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft being annoying about ads, forced surveys, or pushy polls is nothing new.
These appeared in the guise of ‘notifications’ repeatedly convincing users to start using Microsoft’s services such as OneDrive.
Again, these came in the form of not-so-gentle reminders that insisted you start using, for instance, Microsoft 365.
Every time you quit OneDrive on your PC, you must take a survey on why you chose to close the app.
At the bottom, the usual ‘Cancel’ option would take you back to using this case if you change your mind about closing it.
I’m sure that Microsoft hopes data from these surveys will have some value in helping improve the OneDrive experience.
