As much as i try to update OSM with local knowledge, there’s no way to keep OSM reasonably up to date without automation tools.
I’m not sure how OSM can replicate whatever tools google uses to constantly update open/close hours, new/dead businesses, bus stops with schedules, etc.
Open source options exist. We just need more people using OpenStreetMaps and shit.

This is all just crowd sourced no? Like after I visit a place google will ask me a bunch of questions about it (eg. “Did they sell X here?”).
Atleast in India, Gmaps isn’t updated on local info either. OSM is barren in comparison.
There’s maps.cz, somehow has more local data (like hiking trails).
