alt Hacker NewsI appreciate OSM for maintaining a higher data quality bar than other projects (Overture places are mostly junk outside of USA), but it's also just artificially limiting itself by not allowing streamlined paths to data contributions.

It seems like the path is streamlined once they know who you are.
This sort of feels like a generational thing but I would have flown over.

The streamlined path has always been to verify your contributions in the field. Everything else is of dubious quality.
It is streamlined for individuals, and I have no interest in it being streamlined for anything else.
I'd rather no data than bad data. There is no seperate baby & bath water. If a bulk source of data contains an unknown mix of good and bad data, that is all one big single item of bad data that is of no use to anyone.
