Self-hosting & other content producing has been pushed against for ages. Look at the cost to get symmetric internet speeds in many places like it is somehow more expensive to upload the bits. I am pretty sure this is a part of a conspiracy to make sure everyone is a consumer for more $$$ & not expressing their own ideas except on platforms they don’t control.
There’s a small learning curve I wish some bothered to understand first. Does this app help? The part of this I don’t like is vacationers leaving useless names like ‘Mango lady’, ‘many street vendors’ for a block, or ‘local restaurant’ since they can’t read the sign as opposed marking up the cuisine type, maybe adding an English description, & leaving the name blank. Nobody expects uploads to be perfect but Bangkok is littered with this noise that makes it hard to follow or find things.
