Google opened up its feedback form after it announced the Google March 2024 core update was completed and it seems most SEOs did not send Google feedback. Why? Maybe because many don't believe Google will use that feedback to help them? Maybe because SEOs don't want to share specifics with Google?
A poll on X from Morgan Overholt showed that only 22% of those who took the poll sent feedback, if you exclude the 30% or so who just clicked "see results." I hate when polls say "see results," I mean in this case you either did send feedback or you did not - but I get why people put it there.
That being said, if you assume those who said "see results" did not submit feedback as well, then the number is only 14.5% of those who took the poll submitted feedback to Google over this core update.
Here is the poll:
How many of you actually sent in feedback with the original google form?

Either way, the feedback form will be open through May 31, 2024 - so if you want to submit feedback, you can until the end of the month. Google wrote:

The poll goes on to ask:
