When I post a review & photos for a restaurant or business it no longer always shows up publicly. This problem started with a review & photos that I posted last month (for Yui Edomae Sushi in Las Vegas, NV) https://g.co/kgs/4DMf2jD . Since then my reviews & photos since then (Four Monkeys Indian Bistro in Summit, NJ , https://g.co/kgs/WNzWgTd , and The Great Wazu in Parsippany, NJ) are not posted publicly either.
All of my older reviews & photos in the past posted without an issue so I’m not sure what changed to cause any reviews & photos that I post now to not be visible.
Sometimes my photos cross link to a weird errant Google Streetview picture - you can see for yourself if you click on some of my photos / reviews from the restaurants named above.

To get help please move your post to the How-to section. Just edit your post again, select the new Topic at the top, and save it again. Further instructions on editing your posts can be found here.
Kindly consider to always include MAPS links to the places when you post on Connect. This will allow readers to easily learn more on Google Maps should they desire to do so. And we can check your issue.
See the above link and use the share icon to get the links. This can be done for both places and profiles. And from desktop you can link to individual photos and reviews. This will help me find an example of how you see random street view photos and not your photos.
If you want to identify which of your reviews are hidden check this post.
Also, keep in mind that the trigger might not be in the review text itself. Try deleting the attached photos and check if your review goes public. If so, try adding the photos back one by one and keep checking. This way you can figure out which photo was the culprit.
Furthermore, the spam filter looks at your overall performance and track record as a local guide. So completely unrelated violations can also cause reviews to be removed from public view.
Your review and photo quality looks very good to me.
Many are a bit long though.
Please use the form called Account Investigation for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished. Keep in mind, it takes several weeks for the check to be done, and you will not be notified about the result, so I suggest you check the status of your reviews once a week or so.
