Hi, @SolomonDegife I understand you very well. I also lack many videos to get the badge, even if fortunately I have already reached the required views.
In any case, I have a question for you: In your profile you present yourself to the community as a professional photographer. So I imagine that you know well how hard the photographer’s job can be. Taking dozens, and sometimes hundreds of photos, and then choosing one to publish. The best one, the one that renders better, the one that most effectively represents what you want to tell with that image. So I ask you, why should it be different in Google Maps? Why publish two, three, sometimes five almost identical images? What is the added value that those multiple images give to Google Maps? Why publish images rotated by 90 degrees, badly framed images, duplicate images? What sense does all this have for a professional like you claim to be?
All this not only disqualifies you as a professional, but it is also a violation of Google Maps policies that, when repeated many times as in your case, can also lead to removal from the Local Guides program. In fact, Google Maps considers this behavior as a way to earn points without adding any additional information to users.
I appeal to the “professional” in you, and I kindly ask you to act like a professional and remove all this inappropriate content. This way you will lose a lot of points, you will return to level 8, but you will remain a Local Guide, and you will be able to regain your level and badges in an honorable way.
I also wants to inform you that your topic doesn’t fit in the category where you added it. For this reason I am moving it in a different category: Connections & celebrations - Local Guides Connect
