Here's the link to the critique of new Google maps, from E. Laraki, one of the original designers https://twitter.com/elizlaraki/status/1727351922254852182
And @pluralistic adds "What Laraki doesn't say is that these UI elements are auctioned off to merchants, which means that the business that gives Google the most money gets the greatest prominence in Maps, even if it's not the best merchant."

@mtechman @pluralistic bless. It's like they think #google isn't an advertising company
