Not a fan of the sigma stuff, but even I will admit it is indeed a chad move.
Needed now more than ever to expose bullshit... At a local Thai restaurant, only menu listing on yelp was 3 years old, showing an $11 Pad Thai. Actual menu had all the prices sharpied out, and when you asked for current prices... $17 for a small portion, basic Pad Thai!!!
Noodle / pizza prices skyrocketing is such bullshit. Those dishes are cheap as dirt to make and no way justify the crazy price hike.
100%, especially considering I'm in a small town, rent and business costs are relatively low and they are not sourcing high quality ingredients or anything, just the same standard staple Sysco/USFoods crap that schools, prisons and hospitals also use.
People who take pictures of menus and post them on Google maps are shirtless?
I have vowed to do this myself... I just never go to restaurants 😔 I am already a "local guide" on Google Maps though. I think mostly it was because I bitched about a Walmart because they had 2 pallets of frozen stuff out on the floor that was totally thawed and there wasn't an associate in sight. The images I used were viewed about 20,000 times in a day which has always made me wonder if corporate saw it and was passing it around as training material. The city the Walmart in question is in doesn't even have 20,000 residents.
bruh, that's copyright infringement!
I was able to do it for a restaurant once, where I was the first one to do so. I got 1.6+ million views on one image of the (then empty) restaurant. I'm pretty sure that's the peak of my online presence. It's all downhill from there.
I'm apparently in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers simply because I do this everywhere I go.
Replace google maps with osm and only then I will agree
Shout out to Street Complete for making OSM contributions both easy and fun!
you can upload and view photos on OSM?
Which app?
I think you can do it from the official page. I am not sure though.
Quick remake the meme and repost!
Would do it now myself if I had a sec
Man I wish my instance let me post images right now...
On it!
Collecting geodata for google for free is not based. True gigachad maps for Openstreetmap.

As others are hinting at, there's really no realistic way to add photos or menus to OSM today. I believe photos will always be out of scope for vanilla OSM, and manually adding menus is too tedious to do at scale even if there were standard tags for it. Perhaps there needs to be a universally accepted secondary repository where people can upload photos related to OSM nodes, and then clients would need to know to check that secondary source when the user is viewing a restaurant's details.
I hate to say it, but until we have something like that, Google Maps are simply the better (only?) place to have this.
How do I upload menu details for OSM? I couldn't figure it out.
I couldn't find a feature there either.
The food menu may be buried under several photos of the drink menu (or vice versa), but it'll probably be there.
I also like training ai and providing content for giant corporations
Yeah, really helpful when all search results point to ordering sites with inflated prices
My favorites are always the random family vacation pictures accidentally uploaded to gmaps. It always tells a tiny slice of life story about people I will never meet.
Have that feeling sometimes in places like a full market, an airport or visiting a city full of people walking around. I won't probably see these people again in my life, yet they will go on to their lives doing their things. This is the only moment we will be this close, never to see them again. I'm like, there's so many people in this whole world all with so many different wants and needs, and I ain't knowing 1/1000 of them.
Or, interesting in the opposite direction, I was once on vacation in another country over summer break during elementary school years, visiting a tourist site of some sort, and saw one of my classmates there. Parents didn't coordinate plans or even share them, just a random coincidence that we happened to not only go to the same general area at the same time, not only the same specific tourist location in an area that had a bunch of options, but ended up on the same section of path at the same time.
Makes me wonder how many other times I've randomly been even just an hour away from someone else I knew in an area neither of us were often in.
I used to be really into doing Google Maps and uploading reviews, images, and updating stuff. I got a real sense of community out of it for almost no effort.
But now I'm trying to cut back on Google so much, trying to use Organic Maps more often.
I was also always self-conscious about taking pictures of stuff in a restaurant and eventually couldn't stomach it anymore.
Time to give our work away for free the right way brother, amen
Fedi is future, open is our opportunity
I use OsmAnd and Organic Maps. The one thing I go back to Maps is POI data. OSM just cannot compete with that.
I really liked doing street view and even got a little 360 camera. I used to walk campgrounds doing the whole tour of the camps on Sundays since usually everyone would be gone by then. I always liked being able to see a campground before showing up to know where the good shady spots were. But now google killed the mobile app and got rid of photo tours as an option and only accept video so it killed my whole workflow
