How is this different from Mapillary? That didn't work well...
It's an alternative, but provides no new functionality. The truth is while owned by Meta, Mapillary has the best street imagery coverage of all three street view platforms. I provided millions of images for all platform so far, but here's some feedback.
If I had to rank them:
Fortunately all three platforms are integrated into iD, so editors have the option to use whatever works and has coverage for the area.
Mapilio: The map editor superhero. It helps users edit and enhance map data, and it's now teamed up with OpenStreetMap's iD Editor for seamless collaboration. Plus, it's powered by a UK-based nonprofit yet company.
Mapillary: A street-level imagery company owned by Meta (formerly Facebook). Different heroes, different backgrounds! ๐
I said something similar last time this was posted.
What didn't work well about Mapillary? Asking since I'm new to this.

I say it "didn't work" because I don't want to do free work for Meta (an evil company ltd), because who knows if they don't start making money off of my free work
Totally valid point and worth considering for anybody getting into street-level image mapping.
So it says the rights of the photos belong to the uploaders, this seems to be something that would be perfect for creative commons or a other open licence but if I understand correctly it isn't at thid point? Or am I confusing the ownership/rights and licence again? +__+
