You can earn points and level up for your contributions (reviews, photos), but they don't have anywhere near the incentive structure as Yelp yet.
- rchaud 7y agoI don't like the incentives that things like "starred" users (aka local guides) creates. I feel like it's only a matter of time before they become the G Maps version of "influencers", who get paid to post glowing reviews. I'm much more likely to trust reviews from regular users. They don't have to be well written, just descriptive enough for me to make a decision.
