Yes; as an active Local Guide, I sincerely hope & pray that OP is sued/banned/canceled into oblivion, and I further request that their code dies in a fire.

You’re essentially describing a cyber-stalking SaaS. Do you reside in the United States?

Wow, such a wild comment from someone who can't understand that every place owner can see all your reviews if they're public just by clicking on your profile picture! You being a local guide and not knowing this is wild, I wonder what reviews you wrote having this mentality lol

Enjoying access through Google's own interface vs. third-party attempts to scrape stuff and process it, is quite different, my friend.

Yes, I'm aware of public reviews. No, that's not what this OP is proposing.

You'd never get off the ground in the E.U. their data protection officers would chew you up and spit you out Google probably sells everything to advertising partners anyway, why not just partner with them, and pay to play, like a normal capitalist crook?
