Kudos badge for photos uploaded in google maps by local guides

Also @NarenChandra ,

Closed photos of stores are pretty okay, they still pretty much show the storefront. As long as the photo is relevant anyway, that’s all that matters. But when there are photos that better represent the listing in question, and the AI chooses the photo of the closed storefront instead, that’s where some intervention or some selective reasoning needs to take place. For example, the cover photo of a local KFC has a distasteful half-eaten chicken wing, but I’ve taken great photos of the interior and the exterior of the establishment, as well as my own food. Imagine trying to find the local KFC on Google Maps and all of a sudden you lose your appetite because of the cover photo, ahah! Radical example, but you get the gist.

Where people do not take time to kudo pictures, people also do not take as much time marking reviews as helpful either, let alone reading them. But there will always be a small dedicated population who take their time each and every day marking places as irrelevant to various degrees of success, and people who mark reviews as helpful. I report photos frivolously, but I don’t mark reviews as helpful. :slight_smile:
