fwiw, i don’t trust photospheres to be accurate. i spent the first few years of my wayfarer experience battling against a prolific professional photographer who just dropped photospheres anywhere. i was so glad when niantic changed the default option that reviewers would see to satellite view first, so they would see the circle indicating a photosphere if they chose to change the view.
while i don’t trust photospheres to be an accurate representation of the location, i do think they can be useful as an extra supporting photo of sorts, but i much prefer to see a good supporting photo showing me some things i can locate on existing maps views, or links to official sources that the poi exists here.
