I'm struggling a bit with how the 'funniest' ranked reviews are genuine descriptions of people's miserable (and sometimes unsafe) experiences. Where's the funny? As an experitisement, I guess it gets the name out there but not in any way I'd want for my business.

#32“Drug den vibes” and they’re mostly just small rooms?
I've had shitty and small apartments many times and that doesn't prevent me from cleaning it. especially if I'm going to rent it out

Most of the bad TV placement ones are also boring because they're just over a fireplace. Technically correct, but not noteworthy. However, I did find one that was truly spectacular [1] (still live for now) and left me with more questions than answers.

personally I find those experiences really funny especially in my life. looking back I think most people find humor in it, i could be wrong? I don't think so though

I found one in Istanbul [0] (which now 404s) that somewhat fits the label and looks like it could have been a set on The Wire, but most of the "drug den" ones are just cramped, taken by someone who doesn't know how to take pictures and doesn't care to learn (blurry, bad lighting, noisy, poor staging), or both. Most of the bad TV placement ones are also boring because they're just over a fireplace. Technically correct…

#38This vanity scraping is fucking up the internet for everyone else. It's hardly the only thing, but it's part of the problem.
Fair feedback. Definitely more backlash than I expected. The intent was to experiment with large-scale analysis, not add noise or put strain on shared resources. I’ll be more thoughtful about this kind of thing going forward.

On what grounds is there a lawsuit? Hasn't scraping been classified as legal?
classifying people's businesses as an "opium den" using a shitty LLM prompt seems like a pretty good way to piss some people off.

Man you are so disconnected from reality. It’s actually insane. I’m convinced many like you don’t go outside.
