I recently received an invite to join "Google Play's developer research community". Does anyone know anything about this? Given that they incentivize participation through gift cards, it doesn't exactly sound like a "high-quality" community:

This is an invite-only community of professionals from apps and games businesses. As a community member, you will:

- Influence Google leadership teams and what we’re working on here at Google by sharing your thoughts and feedback.

- Connect with other industry professionals to exchange stories, advice, and challenges.

- Receive gift certificates as a reward for your participation.
