Increase the point given for 360° Images

As we know, for 2 dimensional image upload, 5 points are rewarded. In this we only requires just point & shoot.

 

 

But in case of 360° image, many of contributers posses smartphone these days & from smartphone atleast 42 images are continuously captured. This requires lot of skills & time to get a single perfect 360 image. This consumes approximately 8 minutes to shoot & image file being a size around 4mbs, uploading time depends upon your network speed.

 

As I'm in Rural Area of India, here network speed are extremely low & max upload speed doesn't increase more than 50 KBps. This also consumes lot of time. Now after all this, we just get only 5 reward points as much as we get from single 2-dimensional image. This isn't fair.

 

Rewarding points must be increased for 360° image as lot of work & time involved in it.

 

From my point of view, atleast 15 rewards points must be awarded per 360° image.

 

I hope this suggestion will be taken under consideration as soon as possible.

Thank you for your idea, @ShravanJain. We need more information to better understand what you’re suggesting. How do you compare photosphere point next to the other kinds of contrinbutions? Do you think they should gain more points than photos and reviews?

Thank you @IrrPavlova for such flash reply and turning the status to --0pen for votes☺️

Your on point with this one. Expecting us to do all this with no financial or hardware backing by Google is insanity.at its beast but the least they can do is give extra points for investing your time and money into hardware to offer such advanced views. I myself have done drone work for customers and that is a premium service as well so I say drone photos should get more points as well

Sounds like a good idea.

Hello @HelloSamsonR,

If there were points for adding 360 photosphere my post status would be closed by google moderators.

Because this idea is not in active it's status is open for vote.
