My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

What sense would it make to spend money on an ad campaign for Organic Maps? It's completely free and the makers of the app literally get nothing out of you using it.

I don't know. It's just that it feels really unorganic how often it comes up on Lemmy.

Especially with fake sounding "organic" threads that I know from proven social media marketing.

I could very well be wrong of course but if I had the time I would investigate this further.
