The content of "places" feature looks like it's managed by a machine learning algorithm, and it appears to be a disaster (from a user perspective). It incorrectly merges and proposes bizarre categories all the time.

There was an bad issue with a place I cared enough about to try to correct, so I ventured into the "community" they setup to build their training set to try to get it fixed. It was such a depressing place. Hundreds of people tricked by gamification into working for free for a for-profit company, only to be frustrated and have their efforts shit upon by its half-ass algorithm.
