Professional or a little amateur looking photos attract more people?

Hi guys,

I am a mere almost level 8 reviewer (14900 points) I am very active and taking photos is always on my mind where ever we go. We travel pretty often and I take so many photos with details. I am a professional photographer with professional equipment. I have uploaded super high-quality photos from my professional work as well as just phone photos. In my experience, people dig for less professional photos on Google Maps. They want to see places “neutrally” presented. I use my iPhone X for videos and photos which takes great photos. In my experience, my most viewed photos came out of my phone. It really does not matter how beautiful my professional photos taken with equipment worth 1000s dollars.

I am SERIOUSLY wondering if this is the case for your photos. Simple snapshots with ok to good compositions are most viewed or if you are using more professional equipment for photos and they are viewed more?

I would seriously appreciate your input or any experiences.
