> Food photos only. No useless photos of people, random interiors, drinks, etc.
I agree that photos of people are ridiculous, but I want photos of the interior. The ambiance of a place is even more important than the quality of the food (to me), and it's one of the attributes hardest to portray in reviews (mostly because people who review are not professional reviewers). Good photos help here.
Fair enough. What makes a good interior shot is more subjective. The idea with the food pics is that it's very easy to tell which photo of the same thing is better.
I think the big sites must know this and they could do it, but users who contribute might get discouraged if they throw out so many uploads.
