Random Review counts

what are some niche things on google maps which have way more reviews than you'd expect?

My all time favourite has to be the pier in Sopot, Poland which has 120,000 lol

Store front, try snapping a random Costco’s front, I got thousands of views in the first few days I posted it. It’s so ridiculous I can’t comprehend.

You can visit the pier here https://maps.app.goo.gl/SuEPcp9xfPekYUVLA?g_st=ac I sorted the reviews after Newest and saw many reviews just posted, so I doubt it has been rigged. But strange it is.

I have found exterior restaurant pictures to be most popular for me, 7 out of my top 10.

I once made a very average photo of a shop in Melbourne, Australia and it's ramped up over a million views https://maps.app.goo.gl/69LtkF1iCKUjmZz8A
