As I have seen around my area(india) Google Street view was last updated around Jan 2024, and most of the nomination which gets accepted is clearly visible on Google Street view (L35+ Wayfinder use these Mostly ). convincing them with supplementary information (recent Photos) that 20 months is plenty of time for a place to change drastically is near impossible and Some people don’t feel satisfied with the IRL photo of the POI so they use Ai to Nominate Waystops.
Recent update L37→L35 requirement for the wayfarer nomination flooded already long queue with Ai Slops and SFPR Nomination (How this gets past The Emily i still have know idea).
Some people don’t like the IRL location and “Using Ai” to make it more appealing Nomination for wayfinders.
They are Busy Submitting their Home as a gyms/pokestops (AI Slops and SFPR) they don’t review much and if they do review i don’t think they follow the criteria properly like @ElfFromSpace mentioned previously .
