Google suggests slower alternative paths, so it can collect more local data from the region through your phone or car.
EDIT: I'm a dum dum.
I use and routinely contribute to OSM, and I hate Google Maps both ethically and because the actual underlying map is just half-baked.
This is a ridiculous explanation for why GMaps suggests nominally slower routes alongside the main one. What's happening in the OP image is clearly a bug, not Google begging you to pretty please do 8 superfluous minutes of data collection for them.
This comment is just fucking stupid and based on nothing when a much more cogent explanation exists. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that you travel farther, but seriously? Show any evidence at all that this is why it performs this extremely normal and explicable routing operation.
This is a joke comment posted in shitpost cpmmunity. Dont take it seriously.
People here have said dumber things in earnest.
Oh, shit. I'm sorry. I've heard some wild takes on Lemmy lately, but I still shouldn't have assumed.
But now I still have to disagree; this is part of a worldwide psychological experiment for Google to learn about users' willingness to do useless work.
Omfg really???
Literally every thing they do is to gather additional data.
Bruh comments and 56 seconds later deletes their account?
@snooggums@piefed.world
How often can I delete my account immediately after posting?
It's a mystery!
(or maybe I haxed the Gibson)
Clever and hilarious. Almost reminds me of old IRC shenanigans. :)
I was surprised they didn't have a restriction on the display names for something like this.
I see emoji are supported. I shall have to try more shenanigans. Maybe zalgo. lol
