Frankly, I hate it when sites do this. I'm trying to read your article or find out about your product by myself, why would you interrupt me to ask for feedback or conduct a survey? Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty demo, but from an usability stand point there has to be a better way to handle these things.

We don't like them either. Hence, we built what you saw. It is all about the context and that's what we are trying to do. It is about showing an offer at a time when you are most "likely" to make a purchase. It is about asking how your buying experience was once you just made a purchase. Relevance in collecting insights and running promotions is what we are trying to build.
Doesn't matter if you personally like it or not. Don't ever let your personal feelings/attitudes affect your marketing tests. There have been so many times where I thought visitors were going to hate a certain feature and it turned out they didn't care AND resulted in huge conversions.
