Firstly I’m sorry that I hadn’t replied sooner but as you didn’t tag me I only just found your answered question. Please remember to tag the person you wish to read and reply to your comments otherwise they may never see your comments/questions.
Now you’ve asked your question about most viewed videos on the photo views leaderboard post and perhaps you meant to post this on the star photos leaderboard post which is about the most view photo so I will move it there! But yes, you for the moment you can add your most viewed video there although I do plan on introducing a separate most video leaderboard on the 3rd anniversary of the leaderboards in July Please note that this is different to the video metric shown on the Top Country Points & Views Summary Leaderboard and not included in the T100 System’s Health Check feature.
You are so right @tony_b , it’s not only the change of star photo views of existing participants that can impact on the position of any one of us on the boards but also that ofthese high-flying newbies ( @JustJake 's description and not mine)especially like those of @Gulbrandsen and @JakubWarsaw . However, all things being equal which of course they are not, one major positive from this is that we can learn from these brighter stars, what better photos to take and of course perhaps why our own stars may not be doing so well. BTW, on my to-do list I have some tables and graphs that will show us readily and quickly the life of our star photos.
Special thanks to @AdamGT for all the hard work and effort you put into the rankings. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in these rankings. Great respect for what you do for the community of local guides. Regards!
Very good @user_not_found . My second photo is still a long way away from my first, but growing rapidly in views. I estimate it will still take until perhaps March or April next year before it gets into first place.
I just saw the star photos leaderboards. There is an error in it. The average star photo views per day list have someone which have over 400 thousand photo views per day for 1 photo is false. He put his all time google map photo views as his star photo views which is not the right way. Please see to it.
In context, one of the most visited locations in the world and one of the highest traffic location featured photo in google map, “Eiffel Tower” have around 100 thousand to 300 thousand photo views per day. So it is understood that no other featured photo can ever surpassed this number of views per day
@xmen123wood what’s the problem?? yes it takes up most of my views but it’s not all?? i corrected the caption. it’s already gotten checked before and i got a perfect score
Thank you for your kind words of appreciation @JakubWarsaw . You only just joined the Top 100 leaderboards and now your contributions and achievements are well noted.
Apparently the checking system does have its own limitations. I guess it only tracks formatting of the post. It does not really check whether the star photo is genuine a not
In context, your google map local guides account and the stated location have no records of your star photo. There is a possibility that you have deleted your star photo from your account and your account photo views have started to hang at 58 million views. Or you have stored the star photo in another google map account
For example, FlyingTimo account shows proper record of his star photo which indicates that his star photo is genuine
@xmen123wood ive sent you a dm but the picture is propered and has been already checked, its still on my account and everything so i couldn’t be faking it.
I do know that your star photo is genuine because when I saw your account, it makes sense that your views is this much but the photo is missing to public view. I don’t actually see it because the problem is on google maps side which will most prob never be solved.
For the star photo average views per day, I think it is high because you input the screenshot date closer to the actual uploaded date which makes the calculation higher. I think it is an input mistake you make. But nevermind you can just leave it there.
You know I can also set my star photo screenshot date to be closer to the actual upload date to make my average star photo views per day higher but I am not going to do that at all. That’s the main issue with the boards. The data input is based on honesty. There are no independent group of people to directly confirm whether the data entered is correct a not. It is just impossible to properly do it because the views growth is just too volatile to track.
Do you agree? @AdamGT or the other google map local guides experts
Nonetheless, AdamGT leaderboards is very difficult to create. Only those with the right skillsets can do it. Unfortunately, I will never be able to do this thing as I don’t have the right skillsets for this. So even if there are flaws to it, it is still really remarkable to create and manage these boards
@xmen123wood look im not trying to decieve people and waiting for the last day to post it so my views will be the highest i updated it around the 27 or 28 as it sai you should update it every month on the day i uploaded it which was the 26th, i learnt about this near the end of the month in april so im not trying to manipulate the system
I’m pleased to have ignited this into you @Kumaarsantosh and now that you’re on fire keep making top quality contributions on Maps and rise up the charts
