Quality of place pictures added has gone down

Just a thought - maybe more people should spend time taking a straight focused photo instead of photo dumping their entire day of pictures that are blurry, tilted, out of frame, just 3 stairs of the stairwell of a restaurant, etc.

I always try to put myself on the place of the business owner, and ask myself would I want someone posting a out of focus, crooked, photo of my stairwell just so the all powerful algorithm can automatically add that photo as a featured photo?

No, I wouldn’t. Stop mass uploading 53 variations of things like this to accumulate points.
