Hello, @yamamo_cchi! Thanks for sharing. You’re right — our profiles really do reflect a lot about our preferences and the kinds of contributions we make. Take mine, for example (sorry, it’s in Portuguese): nearly a third of my reviews are from the city where I used to live. You’ll also notice I often highlight visits to snack bars and places where I can enjoy something very traditional in Brazil — ‘churrasco’, which is our version of barbecue."
Very interesting and I guess we’re all different. Mine shows a preference towards fast food restaurants, and it is mostly in the southern quarter of the island.
I often get that notification too @Annaelisa, but based on my lifestyle, I don’t think it could be true. But if it relates specifically to my country, it could be that other persons going to restaurants here are not posting on Google Maps. I guess you notice I’m usually the only person from here that’s on the @AdamGT Country Leaderboards.
You make your country proud @tony_b and perhaps create too high a barrier for the competition there. By the way Anthony, from the talk I’ve hear from you I just never imagined that you would have a preference towards fast food restaurants
I was very curious to know what categories there are.
It seems that some are specific to Japan and some are specific to the countries in which you all operate.
It would be great if you could let me know again what kind of changes you have seen.
I will post anything that comes up, except food related.
Now you’ve got me curious too @yamamo_cchi. Does anyone know what the numbers really represent? It seems to me to be related to places we’ve reviewed, rather than the many other places I’ve photographed without reviewing. But even so, when I take a quick look through my reviews, there’s one category not listed on my profile, that I think should be there based on the number of times I reviewed that type of place.
Will monitor this for a while and come back here if I see a change.
I suspect the numbers indicate how many reviews you have under each keyword. But I also remember Local Guides complaining that the numbers were not accurate.
Maybe they are inaccurate, or maybe the mystery of overlapping and nested categories can explain the discrepancies.
Google throws some number at us, which look nice and scientific and make sense at the first glance, but they never tell us what exactly they count (or guess). At the end it just some marketing to push for more posts.
