Top 100 Local Guides Video Leaderboards (January 2024)

[AdamGT]

Introduction:

When it comes to media contributions on Google Maps, video has clearly become the new frontier. Therefore, measuring and analyzing their impact compared to those of fellow Local Guides, especially our peers, can help us improve the "quality" of our video contributions. This is precisely what this post is all about.

measur Google is giving to video contributions on Maps, it's useful that as best as we can, we monitor, measure and compare the impact that our video contributions are having with our peers.  This post is about at the video contributions on Google Maps, and more specifically the views these videos rack up. have is being given by Google, this media type my thoughts are that it's probably the right time for this so let's give it a shot and see if together we can make this post as successful in bringing those Local Guides interested in video contributions together in the usual fun and friendly competitive framework that the Leaderboards provide.

In the usual Leaderboard post style, this dedicated video post consists of a series of leaderboards showcasing the video view counts of participating Local Guides from around the world and you can also join in. In time there will be a leaderboard for each Local Guide level and in this way you don't have to be a "top gun" Level 10 Local Guide with a mega million views to participate!  So, whether you're an entry level Local Guide or from a small country, town or village, or a top level Local Guide from London, New York or New Delhi, you can participate and showcase your video prowess and it's simple to do!  If you want to jump on board, then hit this link to get started.

Is this just a competition?

While there is an inherent competitive element within them, the Leaderboards are more than just seeing who has the "best" photos or videos, or the most photo or video views, far from it!  They have been specifically designed to motivate us, help us to monitor our contributions and performance, and show us how to improve and make better contributions so that we achieve better results, and all in a fun and enjoyable way!  If this can be done then the objective of the Leaderboards will have been achieved, mission will be accomplished! So if you haven't as yet join in and enjoy!

How to Read the Video Views leaderboards (January 2024)

Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation:

1. The leaderboards in this post present details about the video views of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard ranking the top 100 Local Guides by video views, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your video views achievements with that of your peers. There's also a leaderboard that shows the top 100 Local Guides ranked by the Average Views/Video which gives a good indication of the overall "quality" of all videos taken by each Local Guide. This is simply calculated by dividing the Local Guide's total video views value (impact) by the number of publicly visible contributed videos (volume). Of course the use of the term "quality" here refers to the attractiveness of the videos to the Google AI and the viewing public.
2. Where shown, [ ] around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that the Local Guide has participated on the Top 100 Local Guides leaderboards.
3. Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down onto  this leaderboard.
4. An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
5. Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
6. A superscript following a Local Guide's username and the views value shown on a background color indicates that some of that Local Guide's data has been set to private. The Leaderboards System uses 8 different superscripts to indicate the varying states of a Local Guide's profile however only 3 superscripts will likely ever be shown on the Leaderboards. In all the remaining 5 cases the Local Guide has been deleted from participation. On the Video Views Leaderboards you will only ever see the following superscripts used:
   [1] indicates that the number of photos and photo views values are private. 
   [3] indicates that both the number of photos and photo views values and the number of reviews and ratings values are private.
7. A ? or the words "Not set" in a cell indicates that the respective value hasn't been provided by or cannot be determined for the respective Local Guide.
8. Selecting any of the Connect Usernames will take you to that Local Guide's Connect Profile.
9. If you're a participating Local Guide you must check the leaderboards for any errors or omissions and if you find any, then please add the details in a comment on this post. Regarding omissions, please note point 7 above.

Featured Video (January 2024)

Caption: @LightRich's Star Video of MAQUE cafe uploaded onto Google Maps on 2022-01-20 and showing star views of 231,893 as at 2024-01-30

Like this featured star video by @LightRich, when looking through the star video album, I couldn't help but notice how many were in the non-Google preferred landscape orientation. So I decided to do a count and was totally surprised.  If we count those that are square or near 1:1 aspect ratio as landscape, it's a 50/50 split between portrait and landscape.
