I hope there are some fun 4chan stories of people breaking classification.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not really, you can't get child labor on MTurk (officially). But hey, you get badges, and you help the community by providing them training data they'll lock up in a server and use to monopolize more sectors of the economy. Everyone wins when google can do better sentiment analysis on your non-english emails.

They should avoid using the word community, if side product of these contributions are going to empower their sales. I had been contributing to Google Maps for more than 8 years now, but in return all i get is stars and maximum an invite to a meetup. But, when i saw the other side of Google Maps with respect to consuming it through API usage point of view, the prices are not affordable in long term. Also, there is a…

You should put your efforts into open street map instead

They do provide many free services. Google Maps being one of them, you liked their product and used it and it was very useful hence you contributed back to improve it.
If you had paid for their services then you could complain but if you are using it for free then don't use it for free and then complain. You could always use other products or paid products like GPS from garmin.
I don't understand why so much hate towards companies which are supporting free products and enriching lives of billions of people.
If these free products were not there can you imagine how so many poor people across globe could afford free internet technologies?

I'm curious why you'd put so much free effort into a paid-for product by a trillion dollar company.
You truly are the product. Don’t feed the FAANG.
Don't like their products then don't use it. Use alternative.
They built one of the best products hence most of the world is using it.
Does anyone else hate what corporations have done to the word "delightful"? All the corporate art is so homogeneous too. Also a trillion dollar plus market cap company trying to get free labor? Seriously?
When you comment on Yelp, Google Maps review, YouTube it's same.

Consider before Google Maps. You'd either (a) buy a local map every few years (b) pay for a car navigation system. Now Google comes along and offers you a free maps and navigation service and you're complaining that if you try to make it better you're being screwed over? IT'S FREE!
I was expecting to be pessimistic, but Google actually releases the datasets under a permissive license (CC-By 4.0). Awesome! https://research.google/tools/datasets/open-images-extended-... https://github.com/google-research-datasets/hiertext
Would this be compatible with importing into OpenStreetMap and similar open data projects?
