Hi @Steve_UK
Yes even though we may not make it on to one or the other leaderboard, it is fascinating seeing how our contributions and achievements compare to others, especially our peers. However, we shouldn’t be discouraged if we don’t make it on to the leaderboards. We can learn a lot from them and study from the contributions of those that do make it.
In this case, not making it on to a leaderboard for not having enough photo views is one scenario but there is another interesting scenario which @Peadar refers to as a quirk of the leaderboards This is when you disappear altogether when you pop out of the top of a leaderboard because of a change in your Local Guide level. You can read more about this “quirk” in the documentation here.
