Why is it not a bigger deal that Portals Discovered stat is bugged and not incrementing?

I get it that there is no badge associated with portals discoved. Its still a stat that is tracked in our main profile.. I feel like if it was any other stat it would have a larger sense of urgency. Come on Niantic, this one can't be that difficult to figure out. I really hope when it is fixed as well that we get credit for the ones that have been missed.

It was reported ages ago on the Ingress forum. Started with anything pulled for Niantic review. Now that the switch to Lightship is complete, nothing counts. I used to post evidence every time I had another approval but have given up. I stopped tracking how many are missing because I don't think they will ever fix it. I will be at 162 forever.
Did you notice the "Unique Portals Visited" is also bugged? I get the key, and the "Visited" overlay goes purple, but the "Unique Portals Visited" count does not go up until I go there in person and capture it.
Also there is no AP award. Otherwise I would be upset that the current email shows the reward at 500AP instead of 1000AP. But half of nothing is still nothing. Watching the +1000AP float by when I got something approved was my favorite part of Ingress. I have stopped playing except to keep my hack streak alive.
Hello and welcome to the Wayfarer forums.
Sadly, your question is not Wayfarer-related, and not likely to get answered, much less discussed, and it is likely to get closed. I suggest going to the official Ingress forums and looking for a conversation there.
Good luck.
oh i should have posted those links:

It is wayfarer related….just not obvious. The people affected are all wayfinders and it is their work on wayfarer that is not being credited.
No one has said whether the bug originates in the coding at the end of the wayfarer review making it hard/impossible for Ingress to pick up or a fault at the start of the Ingress pickup that is not feeding the information correctly out to each wayfinders account. It as this point between the 2 that the problem may be occurring.
The end result is that no one from Niantic cares, and there is the standard poor communication to the wayfinders affected.
Some wayfinders like myself have either switched off or slowed down their interaction in terms of submissions and review. We have no idea if we will ever get the credit for the efforts we have put in. So fewer active wayfinders, and that also affects wayfarer.
