Why I am stopping my Google maps contribution at level 9.

Shower Thought: Google maps is one of the most used google products out there. The least they could have done is to reward maps contributors (after a certain level) with Google One but its just free labor. I know I am going to be told to stop contributing but as one of the most valuable company, this is the least they could have done. Enough of free labor.

I agree to some extent - however, I suspect larger rewards will attract lower quality contributions so would have to be accompanied with more verification…

You seem to have gained most of your points by uploading photos - if you decide to continue you might look into the other ways of contributing. For instance I see from your profile that you have done very few edits - you may not have thought of it, because I think there must be plenty of opportunity in your area. It is a byproduct of uploading photos - correct the name, move the pin if misplaced, add the place if missing, correct opening hours etc.

Ultimately though - don’t do it just to climb the points ladder.
