Higher points on 360 photos

[#1]

I think 5 points for a 360 photo is not enough. As we all know, 360 photos are more detailed and interactive. We can even link another 360 photos to see the other corner of a place. The process of taking photos, uploading and creating a 360 tour are more complex compared  to a normal photo. I think 360 photographers deserves more points.

I agree. Not just because I also have some 600+ 360 photos but indeed it's a whole more complex procedure and quite a lot of work compared to just shooting and uploading like a "flat" photo. 

After all, we get more points for videos as well - and what's that compared to the hassle of shooting, uploading, placing, orienting and connecting 360 photos?

yes, friends, it has been my greatest pleasure to take pictures with my new 360 camera that I bought recently. I want to be a google street wiev reliable photographer, but unfortunately this badge has been removed. I think it's a bit unfair because as someone who buys new equipment, I was thinking that I should have this badge too. My suggestion would be that taking 360 photos is a bit of a hassle. But the score we get is like a normal photo score. I think the 360 ​​photos we add should bring some more points and also the number of 360 photos we add should be shown in our profile, just like the number of photos. Yes, the subject of 360 photos is no longer on this site, I am aware, but this is the only place where you can share our ideas and I'm curious about your opinion on this

Why not, @Gezendunyali 

I agree that taking 360° photos require more effort than a flat photo or a 10 second video so, once the photo has been approved by Street View, I think we should get at least the same points that we receive for a video, or even more

I'm happy that you agree with my opinion, thank you☺️🙏🏻 @ErmesT

Hello @Gezendunyali 

You got my vote on this.

I initially thought we get points for the 360° we publish. I have about 91 of them, although I have my badge so am happy. Points will be an added advantage.

Cheers

Thank you ☺️🙏🏻 @SholaIB . 360 photography is really a painstaking job and deserves more points. unfortunately I don't have a badge. I just got the camera and I'm so sorry that I can't get a badge.
