I'm always surprised how poor legibility the most used digital map has
One shows only a few shops, often the ones that pay the most, the other shows the true number of different places in the area.
You're viewing a single thread.
Another intepretation: one uses data to distinguish between popular and crappy stores.
I don't think you were making this argument, but I want to highlight that data is not morally neutral. Google Maps drives even less customers to stores that are smaller, and already have difficulty getting customers.
