Someone from Google maps deleted my photos over night, last night I rechecked photos still there.

430 photospheres disappeared/deleted overnight, what is happening?

 

Right after I reported there is problem that approved panorama photos not showing on Google maps, and they deleted my photos last night. 

Original 18,600+, now is 18,170 

Luckily I have some backup photos stored in Panoskin.com, republished it and photos instantly showed up and others are unable recover without Panoskin.  The thing is view counts still remain, my guess is most "removed photos" stay buried. 

btw I am no longer being Trusted Photographer, and layed low for a while without Local guides badge, but things happening really make me sad, so I just signed up "Local Guides" today for resolution, my main goal is showing my hard works to people from all over the world, I don't really care being LG/TSV.

Hi @Devilgorgor your question would be more suitable in How-to Topic

[Devilgorgor]

@sparekh Yup, thanks for the tips. 

I will do that, or by all mean I just want some attention.

@Devilgorgor  is this fixed ? or no one care at Google ?

[Devilgorgor]

@Jefflam @sparekh 

It's fixed 90% and still, some photos were rejected late this month despite they already had 7 million view counts. 

Sample of 1st and 2rd photo

My other 2 accounts still not been fixed. 

log out:

Log in, most of them still buried, black blank screen or links to some photo which took by someone else. 

Of course, Photo view counter drops dramatically not like before because of Coronavirus, limited travel, work, and sadly it is, most of people are out of jobs.
