Who cares about porn spam (ahem) when most of the photos on Google Maps are uploaded by clueless people? Google Maps made it too easy for people to tap “ok” and take every photo they took nearby and upload them in one swoop. Selfies, dogs, sunset photos. Sir this is a Wendy’s.
At first I wonder how could people be so ridiculous by uploading all of these random photos and then I noticed this pattern in the app. I can’t find it anymore now though so maybe they dropped it, the photos are no longer autoselected in group.
As a business owner basically I have to report 80% of the photos people upload.
- faebi 5y agoSame, I am an extensive google maps user and I see so many (home) family and kids pictures in any random place. The UI is not clear on what happens. Even I did it once nearly accidentally. At the same time, there are some funny ones in between. One person uploaded Caribbean beach pictures to the local public pool.
- rapnie 5y agoMaybe the whole images thing is yet another way for google to train their AI's.
- emodendroket 5y agoMost of that is charming and at worst just useless. Can't say that about a guy doinf exhibitionism.
