The rationale is that a later question might prejudice your response to an earlier question, so to eliminate bias

Later questions might give context for the earlier questions and going back would let people answer the first question accurately instead of skewing towards the answer they want.

Yeah, would explain why one question was about selecting FALSE statements. Seems they finally realized some people don't care about the answers.

But still, auto forwarding AND removing the back button? I'm not so sure that improves the results overall, but what do I know.

Well, this second one was from GOG, where they asked my opinion of them. So I took that chance to tell them again that I do not appreciate them sharing Nazi dog whistles.

I'll write a public review, but I won't fill out a feedback form. I guess because I know most surveys and feedback just goes straight into the trash and means nothing; whereas an actual human might read my review.

Because they are silly and sometimes/often program it in such a way, that using the back button resets everything and brings you back to the starting page.
